Derby County vs Sheffield Wednesday Match Analysis & Prediction
01/12/2024 6:00 pm
Separated by just two points in the middle of the Championship table, Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday will meet at Pride Park Stadium on Sunday evening.
The visitors leapfrogged the hosts with a midweek victory, climbing to 13th position while their opponents sit 15th in the midst of a three-game winless run.
Derby County head into the weekend looking to bounce back from a midweek defeat and end a three-game wait for a win, having dropped into the Championship’s bottom half in recent weeks.
Swansea City visited Pride Park on Wednesday and left with all three points as Nathaniel Mendez-Laing’s penalty was not enough to spark a turnaround in an eventual 2-1 defeat after Zan Vipotnik and Ronald had the visitors two goals ahead inside 15 minutes.
From the first 17 matches in their first full season under the management of Danny Rohl, Sheffield Wednesday have collected 22 points and sit 13th, despite their struggles at the back with just four sides in the division having conceded more than the 26 goals they have allowed.
After heading into the November international break on the back of a 1-0 Steel City Derby defeat to Sheffield United, the Owls returned to action with a 1-1 draw at home to strugglers Cardiff City last weekend, before visiting Hull City on Tuesday and returning to winning ways as Josh Windass converted a penalty and Michael Smith added a second in the final 10 minutes of a 2-0 victory.
