Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Both of these teams head into this derby in fine form and both look capable of getting on the scoresheet. Wednesday have scored in 11 of their last 12 home games and they have hit six goals across their last four games, while there have been goals at both ends in three of Leeds’ last five away and they have scored in eight consecutive trips.

Draw 1-1

Reason for tip

Leeds are clearly a level above their hosts as they battle for promotion and the Owls fight the drop, but Wednesday are in excellent form and can at least take a point. The Owls have lost just one of their last seven against their Yorkshire rivals and have won their last four games, and Leeds were held at relegation-threatened local rivals Huddersfield in their last away game. Both of these sides have scored exactly one goal in each of their last two respective fixtures, so take a chance on a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough.

Key game at both ends of the table

Sheffield Wednesday entertain Yorkshire rivals Leeds United on Friday night in a game that will impact both ends of the Championship table.

The visitors would move into second spot, for a few hours at least, with a victory and Wednesday will move out of the drop zone if they avoid defeat – as only goal difference is keeping them below Stoke, QPR and Huddersfield.

Go for goals at both ends

Wednesday have a good record against Leeds as they have lost just one of their last seven against the Whites, and they claimed a 0-0 draw at Elland Road earlier in the season. Backing the hosts in the double chance market has some appeal as the Owls have won their last four games – but both teams to score could be the better option for our main bet.

Wednesday have scored in 11 of their last 12 home games and they have hit six goals across their last four games. There have been goals at both ends in three of Leeds’ last five away and they have scored in eight consecutive trips, so both teams look capable of scoring.

There is a clear gulf in class between these teams but the hosts are in form and their recent record against Leeds suggests they can get a result. As such, a 1-1 draw appeals as both sides have scored exactly one goal in each of their last two respective fixtures.
