Sheffield Wednesday v Sheffield United prediction
Sheffield United enter the derby second in the Championship just two points behind Leeds in top spot and two above Burnley in third as the fight for automatic promotion continues to go to the wire.
United have lost just once in their last eight games, winning six, with their one draw coming midweek against Bristol City. Tyrese Campbell scored his ninth of the season to put the Blades 1-0 up in the 61st minute, before Bristol City midfielder Mark Sykes equalized in the dying minutes to secure a much deserved point.
The Blades have been given an injury boost with Vini Souza, Tom Cannon and Alfie Gilchrist expected to return. Souza and Cannon both missed out with knocks in the draw against Bristol City, though Gilchrist will be a welcome sight, with the defender not featuring for Chris Wilders side since January.
After losing three on the bounce, The Owls have won their last two Championship fixtures. Following up a 3-0 win against bottom of the league Plymouth last week, with a 3-2 win at Carrow Road in midweek.
Goals in the space of 12 second half minutes from Michael Ihiekwe, Josh Windass and Djeidi Gassama completed an incredible turnaround after Norwich went into the break with a two goal lead.
The Owls jumped Norwich into 11th and could go as high as eight if they beat their Sheffield rivals this Sunday, but could have to do it without Barry Bannan who hobbled off late on in their midweek game.
Five of the last eight Steel City derbies have ended all square and with the Owls playing at home I can see them pulling off a slight upset and taking a point from their rivals once more.
Sheffield Wednesday v Sheffield United betting tips
Sheffield United forward Tyrese Campbell has scored in all of his last three Championship games and even scored the winner when the two sides met earlier on in the season. With the Owls conceding 10 goals in their last five games, Campbell would fancy his chances of continuing his goalscoring streak.
With emotions high bookings are to be expected in a Steel City derby, the Owls have picked up more than three bookings in three of their last four fixtures against the Blades, whereas United have not picked up more than one in any given game.
