Our Three Predictions For Derby County vs Sheffield Wednesday
- First Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday to win – 2/1
- Second Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes – 43/50
- Third Prediction: Over 2.5 goals – 57/50
First Prediction For Derby County vs Sheffield Wednesday – Sheffield Wednesday To Win – 2/1
On paper, there doesn’t seem to be a lot between the two teams. Sheffield Wednesday are the higher ranked of the pair, sitting 13th in the Championship. However, Derby are just two points and two places further back in 15th. Despite that, we’re opting for a Wednesday win. The Owls have been great on the road, losing just one of their last five away fixtures. That solitary defeat came against bitter rivals Sheffield United, but they did pick up three points on Tuesday night at the MKM Stadium with a 2-0 victory over struggling Hull City. As for Derby, they’ve struggled in front of their own supporters as of late and haven’t won at Pride Park since October 5th.
Second Prediction For Derby County vs Sheffield Wednesday – Both Teams To Score – Yes – 43/50
This is a bet which has been nailed on with games involving the Rams in recent weeks. They have both scored and conceded in each of their last eight games, five of which have finished 1-1. Overall, in the 17 league games they have played this season, 12 have seen both teams score. With Derby looking certain to score, it will be over to Danny Rohl’s team to match their opponents, and they have scored at least twice in four of their last six outings.
Third Prediction For Derby County vs Sheffield Wednesday – Over 2.5 Goals – 57/50
As far as over 2.5 goals go, it’s rare to see a fixture go above evens. There’s a reason for that, with only three of Derby and Sheffield Wednesday’s last 10 games seeing three goals or more. However, the visitors are in good goal scoring form and recent stats show that they are good for at least a couple of goals, whilst the hosts haven’t failed to score since losing 2-0 to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light at the beginning of October.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head
Sheffield Wednesday enter the game in better form. The Owls started the season poorly but have recovered in recent weeks, losing just three of their last 11. They will travel to the East Midlands on a high having secured a 2-0 win on the road against Hull on Tuesday, following on from a 1-1 draw with Cardiff City last weekend. Derby have won just two of their last 12 games but have become someone of a draw specialist. However, they did lose at home to Swansea City on Wednesday night, following on from a pair of 1-1 draws against Plymouth Argyle and Preston North End.
With Derby earned promotion from League One last season, this is their first meeting since May 2023. It was the same season in which Sheffield Wednesday were promoted from the third tier, with the Owls winning 1-0 at Hillsborough. Derby’s last win in this fixture came in 2020, but they haven’t beaten the Yorkshire-based side at Pride Park since recording a 2-0 win in October 2017.
