FA Cup Betting Preview: Sheffield Wednesday vs Brentford

Championship club Sheffield Wednesday host Premier League outfit Brentford at Hillsborough, with kick-off set for 10:00 on Saturday 10 January.

An Asian Handicap wager on Brentford -1.75 at -116 means we require a win by more than two goals for a full return. Our stake will be split between -1.5 and -2.0 when the Bees clash with Sheffield Wednesday and we’re expecting a sizeable victory.

Brentford won their previous game which was at home. It was a 3-0 Premier League victory against Sunderland at Gtech Community Stadium. The Bees were 51% in the possession stakes and recorded six shots on goal, while Igor Thiago found the net twice and Yehor Yarmoliuk bagged one.
