Hillsborough heavyweights hoping for a third-time lucky
Match context
Bromley will provide a stern test to Sheffield Wednesday, and their double-pivot structure should be able to weather the high-tempo, aggressive pressing game of Henrik Pedersen's Owls at Hillsborough on Saturday. A 12th placed start to the League One 2026/2027 season with 3 points from 2 games could be bettered by the Ravens, who sit 8th after collecting 4 points from 2 matches.
Form and betting
Wednesday are fancied to edge it on Saturday, but there is enough of an outside chance to Bromley that the 1.69 favorites looks on the low side. The Owls have looked fantastic in patches under Pedersen, who has been in charge since 31 July 2025, but 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 4 is inconsistent.
Bromley have had a mixed start to the season, but they are certainly a stubborn team, as Andy Woodman's men have shown since he took charge on 29 March 2021.
- They beat Bolton 1-0 in the EFL Cup, won 2-1 at Leyton Orient in their League One opener before a 0-1 loss to Bradford City at home.
- The Ravens have 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their last 5 matches, a run which includes a penalty shootout exit to Reading, a 1-0 victory at Barnsley and a 1-1 draw with Cambridge United.
Adeboyejo is Bromley’s big danger man
Victor Adeboyejo has been in red-hot form for Bromley in the early stages of the League One 2026/2027 campaign, scoring 4 of the club's 6 goals in their last 5 games. Adeboyejo has 2 goals from his 2 games so far in this level and is easily the main danger man in the box for the visitors on Saturday.
Jamal Lowe has also been sharp in the opening weeks, scoring 2 of the Owls' 3 goals in their last 5, while Callum Slattery, also on 1 goal in 2 games, gives Wednesday the extra midfield runner to break the lines through the middle.
Wednesday's narrow, midfield-heavy press will test Bromley's double-pivot structure, while the visitors will look to absorb and counter-attack at pace. Under 2.5 goals looks an excellent fit for this clash at 1.91 as the hosts' lack of conviction at home in League One so far suggests they can't be trusted to run away with this, while Bromley's record of 1 win in 1 away game so far in the division shows they can nick the points on the road.
