Wednesday Can Make It Hump Day For Toon
The Magpies are in disarray and playing at home will count against them if they start poorly.
Sheffield Wednesday can be picked up at a best price of 15/4 (Bet365) to win at St James’ Park and it’s worth the gamble.
Newcastle are back firmly in the doldrums after six winless matches to start the Premier League campaign.
The problems for Steve McClaren are multi-faceted. For one thing, performances seem to be getting worse not better judging by the pitiful efforts at West Ham and then at home to Watford last week.
If that wasn’t enough, the Magpies have now been struck by an injury crisis with as many as 11 players unavailable for this midweek cup clash.
The Owls are a pretty well-organised Championship outfit and if they can keep their hosts at bay early on then the crowd will grow restless and the chances of an upset will increase.
Wednesday arrive off the back of a morale-boosting 3-2 victory over Fulham at the weekend and this looks the most likely shock of the night.
