Sheffield Wednesday Strong in the EFL Trophy
Dave Challinor’s Sheffield Wednesday are top of EFL Trophy Group A with two wins from two. The Owls beat Salford 2-1 away and Sunderland U21 2-0 s at home in their opening two games.
Sheffield Wednesday’s victory over Sunderland U21 came during a seven-match unbeaten run at home. The League One side also beat AFC Wimbledon 5-0 at Hillsborough before consecutive 1-1 draws with Cambridge and Blackpool.
The Yorkshire team drew 1-1 again at Oldham in the FA Cup before losing 2-1 after extra time. Davis Kellor-Dunn cancelled out Oldham’s opener and Sheffield Wednesday were on top with 67% possession and six shots on target.
Accrington Struggle on Their Travels
Accrington’s long-term away form is unconvincing after just one win in their previous 15 competitive games on the road. The Reds lost their first four away matches of the 2026/27 campaign before drawing three in a row.
The Lancashire team are winless in their previous two fixtures, starting with a 1-1 League Two home draw against Northampton.
John Doolan’s outfit were eliminated from the FA Cup on Saturday following a 2-0 home loss to Wycombe. Accrington had just one shot on target and conceded once in each half.
Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Sheffield Wednesday (3-4-3): Connal Trueman; Max Lowe, Ricardo Santos , Di’Shon Bernard; Jordi Liongola, Billy Mitchell, Jaden Heskey, Yan Valery; Davis Kellor-Dunn, William Grainger, Ernie Weaver
Attackers Mason Burstow and Louie Barry, midfielder Tyler Onyango and Cole McGhee are ruled out due to injury.
Maynard-Brewer was subbed off with an injury against Oldham and is doubtful for the Accrington game. Dave Challinor provided a post-match update on the goalkeeper’s condition and said:
“Just feeling feeling a little bit ill. Obviously there was collision so we will see what that looks like.”
Accrington (3-4-1-2): Louie Moulden; Devon Matthews, Farrend Rawson, Joe Anderson; Donald Love, Aidan Borland, Stefan Mols, Conor Grant; Alex Henderson, Josh Woods, Charlie Warren
Accrington have no injuries or suspensions. Attacker Josh Woods is likely to lead the line after scoring four goals in his last three games.
Verdict
Sheffield Wednesday are strong at home this season and Accrington’s long-term away form is poor. A home win is the best bet in the EFL Trophy.
