Hull
Sheffield Wednesday
Within the 1/64th final of the English League Cup, Hull City - Sheffield Wansday will hold their meeting. Dailysports experts have prepared their reasoned prediction for this event.
Hull City
Like any representative of the Championship, Hull City dreams of getting into the elite of English soccer. Last season the club would have been close to the playoffs, but finished seventh, the gap from the desired six was only three points, they did not play their best at the finish line.
In the off-season "Tigers" did not choose easy opponents, partly this can explain the lack of victories in control meetings, 4 defeats and two draws. Failed to win and the first official match of the season, moreover, in the home match against Bristol City, the team was saved from defeat only in the penalty time - 1:1.
Sheffield Wansday
Only a strong finish of four wins and two draws allowed Sheffield to retain a place in the Championship, last season, the club became 20th, and the gap from the danger zone was three points.
The team played with mixed success in the off-season, with one win, as many defeats and two draws. Sheffield Wansday managed to start this season spectacularly, when in the first round of the Championship defeated on their field Plymouth with a score of 4:0. Such a brisk start should add confidence to the players.

Hull City vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Although the hosts remain the favorites of this pair, the odds for their success are gradually increasing, so the chances of success for the teams are almost equal. The match will be really difficult and can end with any outcome. I consider a bet on the exchange of goals to be a valid bet.
