Football Bet of the Day: Goals at the Stadium of Light

Sunderland v Sheffield Wednesday
Thursday 19:45 (Live on Sky Sports Main Event)

Deportivo Municipal suffered only their second home defeat in five months. They went down 0-2 to Universitario and our bet went down with them.

We're back on Carabao Cup duty today. The final match from round one pitches Sunderland at home to Sheffield Wednesday. They are a League One side hosting a team from the Championship, but Sunderland are slight favourites.

For both clubs, this is the first of four matches they will play in the next 10 days. Wednesday boss Jos Luhukay has already indicated that he will save legs and make changes for this one. No one should be shocked if opposite number Jack Ross does the same. Keep this in mind if you're diving into this one before the team news is out.

For now, we're focusing on the goals markets. Sunderland's first two League One games of the season have brought a 2-1 home win over Charlton and a 1-1 draw at Luton. In their first two Championship matches, Wednesday have lost 3-2 at Wigan Athletic, then drawn 1-1 at home to Hull. No one kept a clean sheet in any of those games.

A year ago, Wednesday won their Carabao Cup first-round match 4-1 at home to Chesterfield, before going down 3-2 at Bolton in the second round. Both teams scored in both of those matches too so, with little else to go on at this early stage of the season, we're backing both teams to get on the score-sheet again tonight.
