Sheffield Wednesday Vs Grimsby Town Betting Tips: 20/1 EFL Cup Bet Builder

The EFL Cup Third Round is here as Sheffield Wednesday take on Grimsby Town, and you can back our betting tips with this 20/1 bet builder.

Championship strugglers Sheffield Wednesday take on League Two Grimsby at Hillsborough on Tuesday night, with both sides fresh off the back of Premier League scalps in round two.

Wednesday held Leeds United to a 1-1 draw before beating them on penalties.

But it’s Grimsby who stole the limelight with their stunning shootout victory against Manchester United.

The Mariners took a 2-0 lead against United at Blundell Park, only to be pegged back late on as Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils forced penalties.

But Grimsby’s luck wasn’t out yet, and they held their nerve to claim the win.

Such was the level of shock that even San Marino trolled Manchester United in the wake of the upset.

As for league action, Sheffield Wednesday’s recent financial turmoil has seen them start dreadfully, taking just one point from their first five games.

And yet they still sit above arch-rivals Sheffield United.

Grimsby, meanwhile, are fifth in League Two and look set to mount a promotion challenge.

Looking ahead to Tuesday’s cup tie, Grimsby are 6/4 favourites with football betting sites, while Wednesday are priced around 7/4.

Sheffield Wednesday Vs Grimsby Betting Tips

• Grimsby & YES – Result/BTTS @ 9/2
• Over 4 Cards @ 2/1
• Over 8 Corners @ 1/3

Grimsby & YES – Result/BTTS @ 9/2

First up, we are backing League Two Grimsby to pull off an upset in what we hope to be an exciting game.

The Mariners have momentum from being Manchester United, and are enjoying a strong start to the league campaign.

Wednesday, on the other hand, are in crisis and are likely to focus all their efforts on the Championship, meaning they could field a weakened team.

With confidence low, the gulf in league status may not matter, though we do think Wednesday will get on the scoresheet in defeat.

Over 4 Cards @ 2/1

We also predict there will be plenty of cards as Grimsby look to frustrate their opponents.

With Wednesday struggling in general, their tempers are already likely to be shorter than usual, leading to more rash actions and poor challenges.

Over 8 Corners @ 1/3

And finally, eight corners seems a safe pick.

Set-piece opportunities are especially effective for lower league teams against higher-quality opposition, so expect Grimsby to play for corners.

As a result, seeing at least nine in the game feels more than likely.
