Sheffield Wednesday vs Derby County Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by James | in Championship Predictions
Derby County begin their 2021 with a Championship match at Hillsborough against Sheffield Wednesday on Friday evening. The two clubs are currently battling to get away from the relegation zone with Derby 20th in the table, three points ahead of Wednesday in 22nd. Yet positive midweek results suggest that the drop is avoidable for both sides. Derby ran amok in Birmingham on their way to a 4-0 win, while Wednesday won 2-1 at home against Middlesbrough. The Owls were playing their first game in the aftermath of Tony Pulis getting the sack. The baseball-cap-loving Pulis was not a popular man in Sheffield due to the negative brand of football his teams play. Wednesday are yet to hire a new coach; perhaps they could do worse than looking within their playing squad. That's the route that Derby have gone down, although Wayne Rooney admits he may have played his last game as a professional.
Derby are unbeaten in seven of their last eight games, four of which have been low-scoring draws. Their last six matches have featured only one team scoring. The Rams are unbeaten in their previous three away matches, winning twice and keeping clean sheets in all three. Wednesday, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their past three games, two of which were at home. They are unbeaten in six of their last seven home matches in the Championship. Derby have not lost any of their previous four games against Wednesday, winning on their most recent two visits to Hillsborough. While both teams scored in each of their last four meetings, we see this encounter being cagier due to their positions in the table. Back against both teams scoring.
