Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United Prediction and Match Preview

The 146^th Steel Derby will commence at Hillsborough on Saturday. While both teams search for a win, United leads the clash with 50 wins against Wednesday having 48 wins.

Sheffield Wednesday come into this clash with back-to-back wins, boosting their confidence to face United. However, Sheffield United have lost just one of their last eight league games, making this a tough challenge for Wednesday..

Additionally, the reverse fixture ended in a 1-0 victory for United. But the Sheff Wed side have managed to remain unbeaten in six of their last seven clashes against United at this stadium.

Who will win the match between Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United?

Sheffield Wednesday have a poor home form currently. They lost to Sunderland and Coventry in their latest home games and both games had a 2-1 scoreline. It is worth noting that they had a three-match draw streak before losing the last two home games.

Meanwhile, Sheffield United have a stunning away run for the past several weeks. They are on a five-match winning streak on the road and lost just once in the past 12 league road trips. Considering the recent derby recording at this venue with the consistent draw recording of Sheff Wed at home, we expect a result in favor of the away team on Saturday.

How many goals can be expected?

Sheff Wed were winless in the last five home games in a row but has netted goals in all of them. On the other hand, Sheff United has one of the best attacking records. Given that, we expect this match to be a high-scoring affair.

Will Both Teams Score in the match?

We have already mentioned about the consistency of Sheff Wed in scoring goals at home. They have scored in all but one in the last 12 home outings. Since Sheffield United are expected to have an upper hand in this match, both teams are likely to score.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United Prediction

A winless Sheff Wednesday side is unlikely to secure three points from this match. Their opponents Sheff United have an outstanding winning form on the road. Since four of the last five h2h meetings at this venue ended in a draw, we like to suggest the draw no bet tip in favor of Sheff United at 1.73 odds.

The consistency of both teams in scoring inclines us to back the both teams to score tip at an attractive 1.83 odds as the secondary pick for this game.
