Despite suffering a dip in form, we predict that Derby will defeat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in the closing match of round 21 as the Owls are running down a blind alley. Following a 18-point deduction due to financial problems, Sheffield Wednesday are stuck at the bottom of the Championship standings. With the team conceding 2.00 goals per game at home of late, home win should not be considered. Adding to their woes, Sheffield Wednesday’s list remains pretty long.
The Rams, on the other hand, were in an excellent form in November, but they head into the match following three consecutive games without a win. Derby, though, have been scoring 2.00 goals per game on the road in the last ten away fixtures and they are surely capable of making life difficult for the Owls at Hillsborough. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to the “Steel City”.
Given Sheffield Wednedsay’s defensive struggles and ongoing financial crisis, Away Win is our main betting tip for this encounter. Over 1.5 goals seems like a sure bet as 68% of their last 26 meetings have featured 2 or more goals.
This Championship match will be played on Monday 15 December 2025 at 20:00.
