Match Preview

Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday are set to clash at Bramall Lane in a Championship fixture on February 21, 2026.

Sheffield United, with a strong record of 4 wins in their last 6 home matches, will take on Sheffield Wednesday, who have struggled with 23 losses in 32 league games.

Sheffield United has managed to score 2+ goals in 83% of their recent 6 home matches, while Sheffield Wednesday has seen over 2.5 goals in 67% of their last 6 away games.

This encounter is known as the Steel City derby.

The model predicts Sheffield United to clinch a 2-1 victory in this match.

Andre Brooks was the hero for Sheffield United in gameweek 32 as his 90th-minute goal sealed a 1-0 away win over a struggling Portsmouth side. The Blades have won three of their last five league games and are now only six points off the play-offs, despite sitting in 15th.

Sheffield Wednesday broke their goal drought with Jamal Lowe's 60th-minute opener against Millwall last weekend, but the Owls still failed to pick up a point, losing 2-1 on home soil. The Owls have lost nine straight league games ahead of Sunday's Steel City derby.
