Sheffield Wednesday maintain flying start
Sheffield Wednesday continued their fine start to the season by successfully negotiating a potential banana skin in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, defeating Notts County 2-1 to reach the next round, boosting our Bet of the Day profit in the process by leading at half-time too.
It was already the fifth victory of the campaign for Alan Irvine's Owls, who lead the way in League One after collecting ten points from their first four games, providing them with a handy early six-point advantage over [4.0] title favourites Southampton.
As a result, the gap between the managerless Saints and the Yorkshire club in the betting has narrowed significantly, with Wednesday [4.7] to perform the rare feat of making an instant return to the Championship as champions.
Our pre-season pick Peterborough are a point behind and looking poised to provide a stern test at [9.2] and have the chance to claim top spot, for a day at least, with victory at Tranmere on Saturday.
Those considering backing Sheffield Wednesday to finish first this year but keen to check them out beforehand will have an opportunity to do so on Sunday lunchtime when their trip to bottom of the league Brentford is televised on Sky Sports 1. They are [2.3] to triumph at Griffin Park.
