The Sheffield Derby brings face to face two sides on fine form and we expect a real battle out there with the two sides each carrying a six – game unbeaten run and just two losses each in their last 10 matches; the perfect setting for a derby. At third place, Sheffield United are 17 points better than their hosts but we are not sure that will matter a lot, especially given Sheffield Wednesday have a nine – match unbeaten run at home and have conceded just one goal in their last five matches. Sheffield United have managed just two wins in their last five away matches and have kept just two clean sheets in the process. However Sheffield United will bank on a prolific attack to propel them in this game; they have scored in eight of their last nine away matches while they have managed two or more goal in three of the last five matches. With seven away wins in the last 15 Championship games, Sheffield United will look at this as a winnable game, particularly considering Sheffield United have managed just six wins in their last 15 home matches in the Championship. This match has been a seesaw of sorts in the recent past; four of the last six meetings have ended in draws. The last two meetings ended in barren draws while in the last six each of the sides has managed a win. From the 89 previous meetings, there is so little to separate the two sides – Sheffield Wednesday have 30 wins and Sheffield United 29.
