Sheffield Wed – Derby Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (13.02.2018)

Match of the Championship corresponding to day 32.

They face Sheffield Wednesday, seventeenth with 34 points, 6 points above the relegation zone and trying to get rid of those positions, against the Derby, third place with 58 points, in play off zone of ascent and only 1 point behind direct ascent Both have very different objectives at this time of the season.

The Sheffield Wednesday is not making a good season, it is clearly going from more to less, and at this moment he is getting into trouble and flirting with relegation places. They accumulate a total of 7 wins, 13 draws and 11 defeats, with 32 goals in favor and conceding 38 goals. He is one of the teams that scores the least goals, and that is leading him to have the problems he has. As a local it is one of the worst teams in the league, with 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses. They come to this game after 10 games in which they have only managed 7 of the 30 points in play, having been able to score only 6 goals. His top scorer is Gary Hooper with 10 goals, not having a second major player in the scoring side, which makes him spend a lot of trouble when this player is not very successful. In principle there are no players injured or sanctioned for this game, with which their coach can count on the entire squad.

For its part, the Derby is conducting a very good campaign, improving what was achieved in the previous season, where he stayed away from the posts of play off promotion. In this long league regularity is rewarded, and the Derby this season is having it. Currently they are third, but they have very close the direct promotion, something very important since the play off is usually very hard and difficult to win to get the promotion. They accumulate a total of 16 wins, 10 draws and 5 wins, with 48 goals in favor and receiving 24 goals, which makes it the second least scored team in the category. As a visitor, his balance is 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses, which places him as the second best team away from his stadium. They come to this match after accumulating 12 consecutive days without knowing the defeat. They have the top scorer of the category, Matej Vydra, who has managed so far 17 goals. He also has players like Sam Winnall with 7 goals scored or David Nugent with 6 goals. For this match you can not count on the participation of Sam Winnall and has the doubts of Kyle McAllister and Jonathan Mitchell, players who do not usually tell much for the coach.

In their last 5 meetings between both teams we find 1 victory of Sheffield Wednesday, 2 draws and 2 victories by Derby. In the first round the result was 2-0 for Derby, in a match in which they dominated from start to finish.

So with the data exposed, seeing the gusts of both sets and especially the ambition and goals they have, I will go with the victory of Asian Handicap Derby 0, with what we need a victory for the visitors, while if they tie us they would return the money and if the locals win the bet would be red. I think the quota is valuable, and for the bravest, they can bet on Derby’s simple victory, since I do not rule out taking the match without conceding goals.
