Match Preview

Sheffield Wednesday will host Leeds United in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening at Hillsborough Stadium. The Owls are struggling for form, having secured just two points from their last five matches, with a recent draw against Cardiff City highlighting their difficulties in converting chances into goals. In contrast, Leeds United have shown a resurgence, going unbeaten in their last five outings, including three wins, which has bolstered their confidence heading into this cup tie. One key angle to consider is the historical head-to-head record, which suggests a competitive rivalry. In their last ten encounters, Leeds have edged the balance with four wins compared to Sheffield Wednesday's three. However, the Owls will be keen to leverage their home advantage, where they have often performed well against the Whites. With both teams capable of scoring, it could be a tightly contested match, but Leeds' current form may give them the edge. Fans can expect an intriguing battle as both sides vie for progression in this knockout competition.
