EFL Trophy Wednesday Tips: Who Will Finish on Top?
William Hill News tipster @Footy_Tipster previews Wednesday’s EFL Trophy action from across the country.
Two EFL Trophy fixtures take place on Wednesday evening, with Barnsley hosting Oldham Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday welcoming Accrington Stanley.
Both matches kick off at 7pm, with Oldham and Sheffield Wednesday already through to the knockout rounds, while Accrington look to secure their place.
Now, let’s take a closer look at some EFL Trophy odds and betting angles for Wednesday’s fixtures:
Barnsley v Oldham Athletic – Wednesday, 7pm
Barnsley returned to winning ways with Saturday’s emphatic 7-2 FA Cup victory over Aldershot, although they’ve lost both EFL Trophy matches, conceding eight goals. Oldham have already secured qualification following two group victories and arrive after Sunday’s impressive 2-1 extra-time FA Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday.
Our Prediction: Barnsley 2-1 Oldham (15/2)
Sheffield Wednesday v Accrington Stanley – Wednesday, 7pm
Sheffield Wednesday have won both EFL Trophy matches, scoring four goals and conceding just once to secure their place in the knockout rounds. Accrington sit second with four points after winning both penalty shootouts, although Saturday’s 2-0 FA Cup defeat against Wycombe was a disappointing setback.
Our Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 Accrington Stanley (8/1)
