Sheff Utd vs Wrexham Prediction: Blades can hold the cup edge

Sheffield United and Wrexham both got their league campaigns off to winning starts at the weekend and the pair will take plenty of confidence into their EFL Cup meeting at Bramall Lane on Tuesday.

The Blades will have been delighted to beat Preston after their dismal Premier League campaign last term, while regurgent Wrexham should be up for a test of this nature after two successive promotions.

Team news

Tyreece Campbell could feature after joining the Blades from Stoke at the weekend, but the game looks to have come too early for Jamie Shackleton and Sam McCullum.

Meanwhile, Wrexham striker Paul Mullin is unlikely to be risked as he nears a return to first-team action, so Phil Parkinson may field a similar team to the one that beat Wycombe on Saturday.

Sheff Utd vs Wrexham Odds

Sheffield United are 4/6 to win the match in 90 minutes, while Wrexham are 10/3 to triumph without the need for extra-time. The draw can be backed at 3/1.

An entertaining spectacle is anticipated with just 4/9 available for over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring rated as a 1/2 chance.

Sheff Utd win & both teams to score @ 9/5 

Sheffield United had a season to forget last term as they were outclassed in the Premier League, but an opening Championship win at Preston should give them a spring in their step and they can get the better of Wrexham at Bramall Lane.

Wrexham’s story has grabbed all the headlines over the last couple of seasons with two straight promotions and they got life in League One off to a winning start with a win over Wycombe on Saturday, but this looks a lot tougher against a team with Championship title ambitions.

EFL Cup Odds

The Red Dragons are likely to go on the front foot in what could prove an open game, but while they may score, the Blades superior ability should tell in the end.

Kieffer Moore to score any time @ 23/20 

Having been a bit-part player in Ipswich’s Championship promotion campaign last term, Kieffer Moore has a great opportunity to establish himself as a Sheffield United regular and the Welshman can grab it with both hands.

He had four efforts on goal on his Blades debut against Preston on Friday and he should be sure of some good opportunities playing with a creative influence as good as Gustavo Hamer, who should be more influential following relegation.

The Wales striker has a strong chance of opening his account against League One opposition on Tuesday.
