Prediction: 1-0
Sheffield Wednesday
There will be fireworks when Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday lock horns in the Steel City derby on Sunday. The Blades are after their fourth consecutive league win and they are seen as favourites to win the local derby. Both Tom Davies and Sai Sachdev remain in the treatment room, while teenager forward Ryan One is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in a 2-1 win over Bristol City.
The Owls, on the other hand, did well to beat Norwich City 2-0 in front of home fans on Tuesday evening, but given their ups and downs on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Sheffield United. The likes of Chalobah, Famewo, Hamer, Kobacki, and Ihiekwe should miss out with injuries for the away team. As the two sides have played out goalless draws in each of their last three meetings in the Steel City derby, yet another low-scoring affair is on the cards.
Highlighted Player (Josh Windass):
Born in Hull, England on January 9, 1994, John Windass is a professional footballer who plays for Wigan Athletic. Windass is a product of Huddersfield Town youth academy, but he did not play for the Terriers at senior level.
The 175-cm-tall midfielder began his senior career at Accrington Stanley and after scoring 22 goals in 77 appearances in the league for the club, he moved to Glasgow Rangers in the summer of 2016. Two years later Josh Windass joined Wigan Athletic and he has been playing for the DW Stadium outfit ever since. He scored his first Championship goal on September 18, 2018 in a 2-1 win over Hull City.
His main position is attacking midfield, but he is used as both central midfielder and second striker as well. It has to be noted that Josh is the son of former footballer Dean Windass, who played for the likes of Hull City, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Bradford City during his professional career.
Highlighted Team (Sheffield United):
Sheffield United are a professional football club that compete in the Championship. The Blades finished the 2016/2017 League One campaign in top position in the standings, with the team collecting exactly 100 points in the process. Sheffield United last competed in the Premier League in the 2006/2007 season and they were more than unfortunate not to secure the top flight survival.
The Blades finished the season in 18th place in the process and it has to be noted that they were level on points with Wigan Athletic, who managed to avoid the relegation to the English second tier. Sheffield United welcome their rivals at Bramal Lane, the stadium which was opened on April 30, 1855. The current capacity of the venue is 32.702.
The club have numerous rivalries, but the most notable one is the rivalry with their city neighbors Sheffield Wednesday. The two teams face each other in the Steel City derby and it has to be noted that United share rivalry with the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham United, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United as well.
