Match Analysis
Sheffield United host city rivals Sheffield Wednesday in a derby that looks extremely one-sided on current form and season data. United are in solid home form, scoring almost 2 per game in their last five, while Wednesday are bottom with a -45 goal difference and have lost five straight. Wednesday's attack is almost nonexistent (0.2 goals per game last five), while their defense is leaking goals at a rate of 2 per game. Recent H2H also heavily favors United, who won the last three derbies without conceding. Expect United to dominate from the start and keep a clean sheet, with a strong chance of a multi-goal margin.
