by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions
Derby matches are always great occasions but this one is being played in miserable circumstances. Sheffield Wednesday are bottom of the Championship and host 22nd placed Sheffield United. Can the Owls get a vital win? Read our match prediction below.
Between them the two Sheffield clubs have played 30 league games this season and won just four. It’s a desperate time for Sheffield Wednesday as they are 17 points from safety at the start of the weekend.
Terrible form on the pitch has not been helped by chaos in the boardroom and a 12 point deduction for going into administration.
Wednesday have gone nine games without a win, most recently losing 3-1 at Southampton. They are yet to win a home league game with just two points from their eight games and only three goals. Both teams have scored in three of their last four matches.
Sheffield United are three points from safety and have earned just one point from their last four games. A run of three successive defeats ended with a home goalless draw against QPR. On the road, the Blades have won two league games but lost the other six.
Four of their last five games have seen both teams score and we tip that stat to come up here.

Our Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United Prediction
It's a rather depressing situation in the Steel City at present. Both of their clubs are battling relegation and in Wednesday's case, off-the-pitch turmoil too. They meet this weekend and both could really do with a victory to try and boost their survival hopes, especially Wednesday.
The last five games between these two clubs have all been low-scoring affairs. Looking at the current defensive abilities of Wednesday and United, that looks unlikely this Sunday. Our Sheffield Wednesday v Sheffield United prediction is both teams to score.
