Sheffield Wednesday vs Derby County

Sheffield Wednesday go in search of a spark for their season when they host Derby County in a Monday night English Championship fixture.

The outlook appears bleak for the hosts, who have faced plenty of problems this season. They could be in for a difficult time against the Rams, who have caught the eye on their recent travels.

Sheffield Wednesday News

It has been a turbulent campaign for Sheffield Wednesday, who have been docked a total of 18 points after going into administration. They are currently bottom of the table on -9 points and were held to a 1-1 draw at Watford last time out in the Championship.

To go with their off-field problems, Sheffield Wednesday have been poor on the pitch, with just one win from 19 Championship matches so far. Henrik Pedersen’s team have had little respite at home this season, failing to win any of their 10 league matches at Hillsborough so far, suffering eight defeats on this run.

Among the issues for Sheffield Wednesday is their shaky defence, which has failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in three of their last four home matches.

Derby County News

Derby County have also been below their best lately and are winless in four of their last five matches. They are currently in the bottom half of the table and were held to a 1-1 home draw by Millwall in their previous Championship fixture.

One positive for Derby County is that they have done some good work on their travels, winning three of their last four away matches. John Eustace’s team have also won at least one half in six of their last eight fixtures on the road.

Derby County are shaky at the back, failing to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine Championship away matches. However, they often show some attacking quality and have scored first in their last four matches on the road.

Head to Head

Sheffield Wednesday have five wins while Derby County have picked up three victories, with four draws in the last 12 matches. The hosts claimed a 4-2 victory in the last meeting back in January.

Verdict

Sheff Wed v Derby

Sheffield Wednesday have had plenty of issues this season, and their problems seem to have no end in sight. They should struggle against Derby County, who could be backed to win at least one half, having played out a similar pattern in six of their last eight away matches.

Both teams often struggle at the back, and having scored in three of their last five meetings, a repeat is on the cards here. Derby County have also opened the scoring in their last four away matches, and that trend is expected to continue here.
