The Owls have made a strong start to life back in League One, opening with a 2-1 away win at Leyton Orient before also progressing in the Carabao Cup. Bradford have started equally well, but the market is remarkably balanced, with Wednesday around 2.20 and Bradford around 3.00 rather than the visitors being treated as clear favorites. With Hillsborough behind them and Wednesday showing early signs of a fresh start under Henrik Pedersen, this looks like a classic home double-chance spot — Wednesday to avoid defeat, with enough upside to nick all three points.
