Championship Betting Preview: Derby vs Sheffield Wednesday

Derby host Sheffield Wednesday at Pride Park, with kick-off set for 10:00 on Saturday 7 March.

Rather than back Derby to win, we’re going to take the -120 that the favourites overcome -1.5 on the Asian Handicap against Sheffield Wednesday. This means we need them to oblige with a victory of two goals or more.

John Eustace's side had 49% possession and managed six shots on target, while Ben Brereton Diaz, Matthew Clarke and Rhian Brewster scored one goal apiece.

Sheffield Wednesday have been defeated in twelve consecutive games. They were recently beaten at home to Southampton by a 3-1 scoreline at Hillsborough. The Steel City outfit had just 34% possession and recorded two shots on goal, while Jerry Yates was on the scoresheet.
