Both Teams To Score – Yes
Sheffield and Harrogate are from different leagues but this does not mean that the difference is significant. The hosts are in League One while the visitors occupy the next level – League Two. Both sides scored a lot of goals for two matches already and we know that this fixture will have both teams play free of pressure. Neither side conceded a lot but those earlier matches were against weaker sides at the moment. Sheffield and Harrogate should trade at least one goal in this match.
Full Time Result – Draw
We believe that Harrogate are not the massive underdogs that we see according to the pre-match odds. We see a possible draw at full time in this fixture. Sheffield are the League One team with the highest number of draws this season and Harrogate have had their fair share of similar results as well. Both teams showed that they care about this trophy and have certain ambitions. While the EFL Trophy does not “allow” draws as a final result, it is possible that the regular time ends like that with both teams being in form.
To Score In Half – Sheffield Wednesday 2nd Half (Yes)
Our third and final selection is for Sheffield Wednesday to score in the second half of this match. This is a team that plays its best football in the final third of the match and this is when they score in most cases. Harrogate have conceded a lot of goals in second halves throughout the season which is a good reason for us to believe that it will happen again. We expect to see a lot of goals from this EFL Trophy fixture.
