Sheffield Wednesday – Manchester City, FA Cup Prediction

Wednesday’s performance at the Championship this season is nothing more or less than a mid table team. The Owls have short chances for the top 6, and their shape is so bad that they are even expected to deviate from coveted positions for top spots. At the same time, there are too many teams in the standings below them, so it can’t be difficult for Wednesday to stay in the league. They are exactly 12th – in the middle of the table.

Man City won the League Cup a few days ago in a game against Aston Villa. Just one more trophy in this tournament and the Citizens can equalize Liverpool’s record of 8 cups. We are so used to City winning home cups that we can’t count them in recent years. In the second half against Villa, however, it seemed that City kept the score after the 70th minute and tried to simply control the game.

This tells us that Guardiola is thinking of distributing team strength, and otherwise. This team has played too many matches in too many tournaments. Yes, the League Cup is over, but there have been many matches played. Now this match with Sheffield, then there is the derby with United at the end of the week. Citizens can rely on their almost complete lineup, but Laporte is still injured, which weakens their defense.

 Expert view : Knowing how Man City play for the cup, it makes sense to crush their opponent. On the other hand, this is FA Cup. There can be any results here, and Sheffield Wednesday has no other tournament in which to do their best. What’s more interesting is that there is no replay here, so this is a game where everything can be done and that’s where the magic is. Sheffield Wednesday has hopes that they can make a sensation, and that certainly motivates them. That’s why we bet on goals. Prediction – Over 3.0 – Asian Goal Line at 1.65.
