Wolves carry the stronger recent profile into this cup tie. Their last five games have produced 2.6 goals per match while conceding only 0.6, a sharp contrast with Wednesday's 0.6 scored and 1.2 allowed. That gap is the clearest guide in this preview, especially with the visitors also unbeaten across that spell.

Wednesday's route looks narrower. They have taken 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last five, so their margin for error is smaller against a side arriving with momentum. The prices back that up: Wolves remain clear favourites at 1.61, while the home win sits at 5.40 and the draw at 4.10. For anyone balancing recent form with the h2h angle, current output is the stronger pointer here.

🔮 Prediction

Wolves have the cleaner form line and stronger scoring rate, so the call is Wolves to win - Expected score: 0-2.
