Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Leeds United were unbeaten in their first eight Championship fixtures but then lost 2-1 at home to Birmingham City last weekend. They remain top of the table but only on goal difference from Middlesbrough and will want to get back into winning ways in this game. Away form this season has seen United win two and draw two and those four games have seen 14 goals scored in them with Leeds scoring at least twice in three of them. This is a tricky game for them, not just because it's going to be a heated derby match but they have lost at Hillsborough in two of their last three visits.

Sheffield Wednesday are tenth in the Championship with 14 points. That's two points off the play-off positions and only four off top of the table Leeds United. They got off to a poor start this season with only one point from their first three games but won the next three, each by a 2-1 scoreline. A draw with Stoke City and defeat at Nottingham Forest followed that but they bounced back with a 2-1 win at Aston Villa last weekend. Wednesday are undefeated in their last six league games and five of those games have seen over 2.5 goals scored in them. It's a fascinating game as most derby matches are and the tip here is to go for over 2.5 goals to be scored.
