In the FA Cup’s first round, Sheffield Wednesday and Morecambe square off on Friday at the Globe Arena. The Owls will attempt to maintain their unbeaten streak of six games across all competitions.
In League One, Sheffield Wednesday prevailed comfortably 4-2 over Burton Albion to extend their winning streak. They have won four games and drawn two in a row, going unbeaten in six of those games.
With 34 points from 17 games, Sheffield Wednesday is currently third in the League One table.
Derby County held Morecambe to a 1-1 draw while Morecambe struggled to recover. They have two points out of a possible nine and have lost three league games in a row. Morecambe is 22nd in League One after a slow start, four points behind Accrington Stanley and just outside the relegation zone.
Prediction
As they take on an out-of-sorts Morecambe team that has won just one of their last nine games, Sheffield Wednesday will be salivating. We expect the home team to win this weekend because they are in better shape heading into it.
