Sheffield Wednesday v Derby Betting Preview – Championship 22nd April 3.00pm
The Owls just need to get themselves over the finish line to secure a play off spot this season. Just when that looked in jeopardy they have produced some cracking form to win their last four games on the bounce. They just need a little more to get over the line and they can take a big step towards that with a win in this one. Derby have been in decent form lately but will miss out on the play-offs this season.

Sheffield Wednesday v Derby Betting Tips
The Owls are a very good home side and they are going to need to call on that for this one, as it is an important game for them. They have won their last two games on home soil in the league and that includes a win over Newcastle. They have hit a bit of form now with a four-match winning streak home and away, going unbeaten in five. That has been in response to a poor run of form where they won just one of their previous seven league games which put their play-off place in jeopardy. They are back in a strong position and just need to finish the job. So they are finishing the season strongly now and at Hillsborough this season they have posted a W14 D2 L5 record. They did suffer a 2-0 defeat earlier this season against Derby, and they haven’t won any of their last four on home soil against Hillsborough against the Rams (D3 L1). They need the points in this one and under 2.5 goals in the game at SkyBet for 9/10 is the way to go as each of the last three between these at Hillsborough have gone under the goal line. A Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 correct score bet at SkyBet is a price of 6/1.
The Rams have been doing alright lately and have gone W3 D2 L1 in their last six league games. They have failed to pick up a win in their last two though after they were smashed by Brentford and then had to pull out a last-gasp equaliser against Huddersfield in midweek action. They aren’t going to get themselves in the play offs this season but could make life a little tricky for the Owls. But them picking up a win doesn’t look too likely for them though as they have triumphed in just one of their last seven games away from home now in a W1 D1 L5 record and they failed to score in any of those defeats. A Sheffield Wednesday to win to nil bet at SkyBet is a quote of 2/1. Unlike Wednesday though, the Rams don’t have anything to play for. In the SkyBet anytime goalscorer market, Jordan Rhodes is up as 10/11 favourite for the Owls, with Fernando Forestieri at 11/10 and for the Rams, there is Darren Bent and David Nugent around the 5/2 mark. Derby have recorded a W7 D4 L10 record away from home this season.

Sheffield Wednesday v Derby Predictions
Sheffield Wednesday Home Win: Look for the Owls to win to nil. They don’t have the winning form at home against the Rams but they can produce in this one as they have to step up and they are running in good form. The Rams have been poor on the road, so look for the three points to go to the home side.
