Sheffield Wednesday host Accrington ST in the EFL Trophy Group North at Hillsborough on 10 November. This is a competition fixture for both sides, and the hosts come in as clear favourites after a strong recent run in League One. Wednesday have won three of their last five games and are performing well at home, while Accrington arrive from League Two on the back of mixed results and a concerning defensive record.
Team form
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday have been in good form lately. They won 7-2 at home against Bromley on 29 August, then followed up with away victories over Wycombe (2-1) and Peterborough (2-1). Recent draws against Wigan and Stockport County suggest the tempo has slowed, but they remain a potent attacking force with 2.2 goals per game over their last five outings. Defensively they have conceded only 0.8 per game in that span, showing solid organisation. Under Henrik Pedersen's 4-2-3-1 formation, they controlled 48% possession in their last match and maintained 79% pass accuracy, indicating a structured approach.
Accrington ST
Accrington ST's recent record is inconsistent. They lost 1-2 away at Barnet most recently, and over their last five games have won just once—a 3-2 home victory over Crawley Town. More concerning is their defensive fragility: they have conceded 2.2 goals per game across this run, including heavy defeats to Exeter City (0-2) and Walsall (2-3). Their attacking output of 1.6 goals per game trails Wednesday's output noticeably. In their last outing, they managed only 39% possession and 52% pass accuracy, reflecting a side struggling to dominate games.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record favours Wednesday decisively. In their last five meetings, Wednesday have won three times and drawn twice, while Accrington have not beaten them. Most recently, on 1 August 2026, the sides drew 0-0. Before that, Wednesday won 3-0 at home in April 2023 and 1-0 away in November 2022. Wednesday's superiority in this fixture is clear.
Key factors
Wednesday's home advantage at Hillsborough is significant. They are the higher-league side (League One versus League Two) and have demonstrated attacking quality, particularly in front of goal. Accrington's weak defensive record—conceding 2.2 per game recently—is a major vulnerability against an in-form Wednesday attack. Wednesday's midfield, featuring players like Barry Bannan and Ben Mitchell, should control possession and create space for the forwards. Accrington will need to be compact and organised to frustrate the hosts, but their recent form suggests they lack the defensive solidity to do so consistently.
Prediction
Wednesday are strong favourites here. They have superior form, a better defensive record, home advantage, and a clear historical edge over Accrington. The hosts should dominate possession and create the clearer chances. Accrington's defensive vulnerabilities make them susceptible to conceding multiple goals. While Accrington do carry some attacking threat—evidenced by their 3-2 win over Crawley—Wednesday's defensive organisation should limit them. A fairly open game is likely, with both sides capable of scoring, but Wednesday should emerge with a comfortable victory.
Back Sheffield Wednesday to win. They are clear favourites and should have too much quality and solidity for Accrington in this fixture. The hosts' recent form, home advantage, and defensive strength point to a convincing performance.
