Correct score prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 Grimsby
While Sheffield Wed have struggled in the Championship this season, they should still have enough firepower to beat a team that plays two leagues below them.
That being said, Grimsby shocked the football world by eliminating Manchester United already, but Sheff Wed also eliminated a Premier League team in the last round by beating Leeds on penalties. So, all in all, we feel that the Owls should get to the next round.

5The Owls have started the new Championship season in poor form, with one point from the first five league matches. Furthermore, even though they eliminated Bolton and Leeds in the EFL Cup, both times it was after penalties, so Sheff Wed are still looking for their first win in regular time. Given that their next opponent plays in League Two, it might just be time for the first win of the season for the Owls.
Meanwhile, Di'Shon Bernard, Pierce Charles, and Nathaniel Chalobah are out with injuries.

With just one loss in the first eight matches in League Two, Grimsby had a good start to the season and they're currently fifth in the league standings as they hope to push for promotion this season.
However, the story of their season is their run in the EFL Cup, especially their win over Manchester United in the previous round. Grimsby showed a lot of passion and quality in that game and while they failed to win in regular time despite leading by two goals, they also showed composure during the penalty shootout to cause a huge upset.
When it comes to team news, Sam Lavelle and Jason Svanthorsson will miss this match with injuries.
