【Key Factors】
The key factors that could determine the outcome of this match are Bolton Wanderers' home advantage and their strong defensive record at home. Bolton Wanderers will likely look to control possession and create chances through their experienced attacking players.
Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, will need to find a way to break down the home team's solid defensive organization. Their lack of recent League Cup experience and poor start to the season may hinder their ability to match Bolton Wanderers' intensity.
Injuries and suspensions do not appear to be major concerns for either side.

【Expert Prediction】 🟢2-1🔵
Based on the available information, I predict a 2-1 victory for the home team, Bolton Wanderers.
While Sheffield Wednesday may have the edge in terms of pedigree, Bolton Wanderers' home advantage and their impressive defensive record at the University of Bolton Stadium could see them secure a hard-fought victory.
The home side's ability to capitalize on their opportunities and grind out results at home should allow them to frustrate the visiting team. A narrow victory for either side or an unexpected result cannot be entirely ruled out, but a 2-1 win for Bolton Wanderers is my prediction for this match.
This encounter has the potential to be a closely contested affair, with both teams eager to progress in the England League Cup.
