Sheffield Wednesday vs Plymouth Odds: Draw on the cards at Hillsborough

Sheffield Wednesday welcome Plymouth to Hillsborough in an all-League One affair for this FA Cup first round showdown on Sunday. The match will be shown live on ITV and kick’s off at 12:15 - I’ve picked out three bets I like the look of and previewed the clash below.

My first tip is for both teams to score. Sheffield Wednesday have been free-scoring at home this term, netting at least one goal in each of their seven league games at Hillsborough. Darren Moore’s side are fresh from seeing off Sunderland 3-0 in midweek and I can’t see them finding too many issues in front of goal this weekend. 

Plymouth, meanwhile, have seen BTTS land in each of their previous four away games and have found the net nine times in their last five on the road, therefore I’m happy to get behind both teams to score at 8/11 with Betfair.

Two teams who have gained the reputation of being ‘draw specialists’ in recent outings meet in this FA Cup clash, which naturally sways me towards backing a stalemate here.

Sheffield Wednesday had drawn four consecutive games before the Sunderland victory on Tuesday, taking their draw-tally to seven for the campaign - no club in League One has recorded more so far.

Plymouth have endured a similar situation of late, drawing three of their last four away fixtures, highlighting their resilience on the road to avoid defeat, alongside an inability to get the job completely done and clinch all three points away from Home Park. With this considered, a replay seems probable on Sunday.

My final pick is Lee Gregory to score anytime. Sheffield Wednesday’s front man is enjoying a promising season thus far, leading the scoring for the Owls with six goals to his name in League One. 

The former Millwall striker has found the net four times in his previous six outings and is a hugely experienced marksman who has notched 18 goals in this competition throughout his career. 

Gregory is an experienced player who should be brimming with confidence following his goal against promotion-favourites Sunderland in the week, and I’m backing him to continue his fine form against Plymouth.
