Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United: Prediction, Lineups, Betting Tips and Odds (23/11/25)
Our 3 Predictions for Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United
- 1st Prediction : Sheffield Wednesday To Win – 14/5
- 2nd Prediction : Both Teams To Score – Yes – 17/20
- 3rd Prediction : Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 21/20
First Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United – Sheffield Wednesday To Win – 14/5
Going bold with this one as Wednesday have only 1 win all season in the Championship, as their off the pitch troubles have stifled their season. Better times will be ahead, and a win here against bitter rivals United will be a good way to signify that intent. That 1 win was away from Hillsborough, so the home fans will be in full voice as they urge their team for a first win on home soil. United will be out to stop a 4 game streak with no win, and after a change in fortune with the manager switch they have regressed. Home advantage will win the day in this closely fought contest.
Second Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United – Both Teams To Score – Yes – 17/20
A full bloodied derby game can sometimes be a slow burner, but once the first goal goes in the tension starts to go, and the goals start to flow. Well, that could be the case. Both sides have bene a little goal shy, leading to their low league positions. At home The Owls have managed just 3 in 8 , and away The Blades have struck 7 in 8. So not even a goal a game average for both, and the wider look doesn’t fare fare much better with 12 for the home side and 11 for the visitors. So why do we suggest that both will score? It is the lack of any resistance in keeping goals out, as well as the pursuit of pride and points that this match brings.
Third Prediction For Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 21/20
So, we know that this is one of the unique derby matches that the EFL has. And we know that both have struggled this season. We do not anticipate lots of goals, but enough to make this bet look like a decent shot. Wednesday have conceded 18 at home, and 29 overall, so they are a team that finds it hard to keep opponents at bay. Likewise the case for United, as on their travels they have let in 15, with 26 overall. The goals may not be flowing in the attack, but the opposite end will give confidence that will change, and what better than a high stakes derby game.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results and Head to Head
In recent years when you think of Sheffield Wednesday one player comes to mind. Barry Bannan. He has stood with shoulders back throughout the turmoil of the first three months of the season, and taken on a new responsibility as a figurehead. He is also playing to a consistent level that could be enough to propel The Owls against the odds to stay up. No pressure then. Manager Henrick Pedersen does have other aces up his sleeve. 18 year old Harry Amass is a wild card that is playing to a level above his years. Jamaican Bailey Cadamarteri has just 1 goal so far but not through lack of effort, but he will want more. At the back stalwart Dominic Iorfa is doing his best to guide his team off the foot of the table.
Chris Wilder has seen his Blades side slump in recent times, after a fine start on his third stint in charge. The results upon his return did take an upturn, but now he is realising just how big his job is as they are still adrift from being anywhere near safe. He will remain patient but a fifth game on the spin without a win would make the task even harder. And no one wants to lose a derby match. Only 5 players have scored goals for United so far this campaign, and that will have to be improved upon. Callum O’Hare has 4 goals, and is 1 ahead of Tyrese Campbell, on 4. If these two click they could win a game themselves, but it is the supporting cast around them that needs to step up. Sam McCallum and Ben Mee are two of their best players this season, but being defenders that doesn’t really help their attack, and they will have to keep performing well to help shore up what has been a largely porous defence so far.
