vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Salford City go into this EFL Trophy tie off the back of a draw in their last outing, 3-3 away at Rotherham. Before that came two straight wins, 1-0 over Port Vale and 2-1 over Newport County, and further back an away defeat, 0-1 at Shrewsbury, and a home defeat, 0-1 to Chesterfield: across their last five matches the record reads two wins, one draw and two losses. Sheffield Wednesday closed their last round with a 0-0 home draw against Wigan, after two straight away wins, 2-1 at Peterborough and 2-1 at Wycombe. Further back sits a 7-2 win over Bromley at home and a 0-2 defeat to Wolves: across their last five games that is three wins, one draw and one loss. There is no recorded head to head history between the two sides. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
