Championship Betting Preview: Sheffield United vs Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield United take on bottom-of-the-table Sheffield Wednesday in the Steel City derby at Bramall Lane, with kick-off set for 07:00 on Sunday 22 February.

We think United will land a sizeable win against Wednesday. Back the Blades -2.25 at odds of -119 in the hope that they land a victory by three goals or more, with a two goal win returning half the stake on the Asian Handicap.

Sheffield United won their last game 1-0. This was an away victory at Fratton Park against Portsmouth. Chris Wilder's side had 42% of possession and three shots on target, with Andre Brooks bagging a late winning goal.

Sheffield Wednesday suffered a ninth consecutive Championship defeat when losing 2-1 in their previous game. This was at home to Millwall at Hillsborough. The Owls enjoyed just 32% possession and had three shots on goal, while Jamal Lowe found the net.

Head-to-Head Statistics
