Fleetwood Town vs Sheffield Wednesday » Prediction, Watch Live + Odds & Stats 07.02.2023

The FA Cup is back on Tuesday night with replays from the 4th round and this all-League One clash between Fleetwood and Sheffield Wednesday is one of those

Fleetwood come here on the back of four straight league defeats, a run that has seen them slip down the League One table and into 17th position. They held Sheffield Wednesday in the cup two weeks ago, and now have home advantage for this replay.

Their most recent game saw Fleetwood lose 3-2 at home to Burton Albion, disappointing against a team who are only just above the relegation zone. Before that, as part of their four game losing run, Fleetwood were beaten by their opponents here Sheffield Wednesday 1-0.

One of the most in form teams in England, not just in League One, Sheffield Wednesday are absolutely flying right now. They went to the top of League One at the weekend, beating Plymouth, a big promotion rival, and are looking to kick on and create a gap at the top now.

In the league, Wednesday have won their last six games, including that 1-0 win over Fleetwood. Though having said that, when playing in the 4th round tie at home, they were not as impressive, and that may be an issue for them here, focusing on the league, and not so much the cup.

Fleetwood's Josh Vela was sent off on Saturday so will miss this game through suspension.

Wednesday may look to rotate their pack, on the back of a huge League One weekend, and with the league being their main aim.

If this was a league game, Sheffield Wednesday would be the pick. But given the magic of the cup, the focus Fleetwood have on it, and the lack of focus from Sheffield Wednesday, who are fully in on the league title, there could be an upset here. The odds are big, and worth a shot, so it's Fleetwood to cause a surprise in this one as the pick.
