Depleted Wednesday Still Have Hope

The FA Cup 3rd Round always throws up some interestings odds and Covid has added another wildcard into the question. The latter is how Sheffield Wednesday have wound up at 7/2 underdogs at Exeter City, with Boylesports.

The thing is we don’t really know how bad the virus outbreak has been at Wednesday and that price looks like a speculative over-reaction. Yes, caretaker boss Neil Thompson won’t be there as he self-isolates, but adversity can go either way.

If even a handful of first team players are available for the Owls then the ‘underdogs’ will be a number of in-form Championship players against a mediocre League 2 outfit who recently lost 2-1 to Harrogate at home.
