Sheffield Wednesday - Derby County predictions

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 01/01/2025 played @ Hillsborough Stadium refereed by Lewis Smith

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.05, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

It’s highly unlikely that Derby County will manage to get some points this round. Sheffield Wednesday are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Getting back into the game in their last outing was never going to be an easy task for The Owls. They conceded early in the first half and went on to be heavily defeated Preston North End. Therefore, their fans will be expecting redemption this time around.

A 0:1 defeat is not exactly what top bookmakers believed would happen to Derby in the previous league round. They played away at Leeds United and managed to hold on to a draw in the first 45 minutes before losing to a single-goal margin!

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Owls 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.

Derby County have registered 6 goals in their three previous home games, which is impressive by any measure. Although they’ll be playing as visitors on Wednesday, it’s still a very good idea to look at Over markets.

It will be interesting to see if The Rams manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Sheffield W. this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Liam Palmer, Michael Ihiekwe, Ben Hamer, Sean Fusire are all sidelined due to injury, which makes The Owls’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

We recommend taking up Betway’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 1.30. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
