Derby County - Sheffield Wednesday betting tips and odds

Sheffield Wednesday will give Derby County a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.45 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

While Sheffield W. may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.20 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Derby went into their previous Championship match on the back foot, yet managed to get a draw half-time result in spite of the home-field disadvantage. Their opponents, Swansea City , scored the deciding goal in the second half, resulting in a narrow 2:1 defeat in hte end.

The Owls are here on the back of an undecided match against Nottingham Forest. The odds were in Sheffield Wednesday ’s favour, though, and they were the hosts – which means that the draw result was a disappointment.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Rams have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Sheffield W. are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

With a loss to Sheffield W. on the record, the home team’s status of clear favourites is brought into question. They lost a Championship match earlier in the season, which came as a surprise to bookies and punters alike.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Though a Home Win seems like a sure bet here, we would advise securing it additionally with a Draw No Bet. The Rams have been known to lack consistency at times, so removing the possibility of a draw is well worth reducing the odds to 1.67.
