Bitesize Prediction: Derby County vs Sheffield Wednesday – 07/03/26

Competition: Championship

Market: Rhian Brewster to score anytime

Odds: 11/5 @ BetUS

Looking to make it consecutive Championship victories on Saturday afternoon, Derby will welcome Sheffield Wednesday to Pride Park.

Starting with the hosts, claiming a much-welcomed Championship boost last weekend as they signed off February with a routine 3-1 victory at home against Blackburn, John Eustace’s side will certainly feel that they have been handed another golden opportunity here. Despite their inconstancies over recent times, the former Birmingham boss still finds his squad at the heart of a play-off scrap and they open Saturday’s showdown at Pride Park knowing that they can move within touching distance of the top-six. Rightfully installed as a landslide favourite on Saturday afternoon, the Rams have also won their previous two Championship showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 5-1. Landing a deserved 2-0 victory against Swansea on February 14th, Eustace’s camp should also be excited by their overall success in the final third. Laying down what was a sensational marker on January 30th as they secured a remarkable 5-0 romp away at Bristol City, Derby have notched at least a pair of strikes in four of their last six Championship battles.

As for the visitors, hit with two separate point deductions this season and dealing with a string of high-profile public issues both on and off the pitch, Sheffield Wednesday are already planning for life back in England’s third-tier. Breaking a string of unwanted records this year and sat rock-bottom of the Championship standings, Henrik Pedersen’s men can’t wait to see the back of the 2025/26 campaign. Last seen signing off February with a routine 3-1 loss at home against Southampton, the Owls have now lost all of their 13 consecutive appearances across all competitions since opening the New Year. Rightfully coming under a tremendous amount of scrutiny, Sheffield Wednesday will be more than aware that they face another stern examination when they travel to Pride Park this weekend. Getting 2026 underway with consecutive 3-0 drumming against Preston and QPR, Saturday’s guests have also gained a reputation for their glaring defensive struggles. In fact, the Owls have shipped 71 goals in their 35 Championship showdowns this season.
