Leeds vs Sheffield Wednesday
Ah, @waynecoyne, glad you're around mate. You can deliver your opinion on this game. The Yorkshire Derby between Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday is coming up this Saturday evening in a 5:30pm kick-off from Elland Road and the outcome of this game will have a huge impact on the end of both these clubs' seasons.
Leeds are still involved in a very close three horse race for automatic promotion at the top of the Championship table. Marcelo Bielsa's side are 2nd and just 6 points behind league leaders Norwich but also only 1 point ahead of 3rd placed Sheffield United. 2 losses in their last 4 league games have put a stunt in their promotion charge but the 2-0 win away to Preston in midweek has boosted morale around the club.
Sheffield Wednesday had suffered a first league defeat under Steve Bruce against his former club Aston Villa last weekend but the Owls bounced back in midweek with a convincing 3-0 victory over a troubled Nottingham Forest. The club is now in 10th place and 6 points off the play-offs with 5 league games to go. Time is running out so a win here is mandatory if they want to keep their fading play-off hopes alive.
This is a derby that often bucks the trend of the form book. The last time Wednesday visited Elland Road they came away with a 2-1 win in a thrilling encounter. Leeds haven't taken a win in any of the past three meetings so if they were ever going to get back to winning ways then they'd want to do it now.
One thing Wednesday are struggling to do under Bruce is win on the road. They know how to grind out the draws having drawn 4 and won 2 of their 6 away matches under the former Manchester United legend. I think expecting them to win here is asking a bit much but I could see them holding a nervous Leeds side to a draw.
Sheffield Wednesday Double Chance @ 2.66 with MarathonBet
BTTS @ 2.00 with William Hill
I can see Hutchinson returning and if bannan is not fit reach is an able deputy in central midfield. I usually get Wednesday wrong but can see a tight game and 2-1 either way. If we lose there is the bonus of it being bad for Sheffield united.

i hope you are right @StevieDay1983
-i backed villa for promotion at 25/1 a month ago. I was looking this morning to find which bookie i'd done it with and it was 188bet. When i went on their website it said they had ceased trading-shit i thought. It does however say they will honour ante post bets, the result of which is known by 30th June.

ajax out to 40/1 going to have a nibble at that
they were the better team last night as they were when they lost to real madrid
if they can up their finishing they can go to juve and win
-
Forest out to 3/1 with bet365 so i have taken the plunge.
-
i think sheffield wednesday are too short. Bannan went off with a hamstring problem on saturday so will be unlikely to play. Iorfa also went off and aarons missed the game through injury. The problem with backing forest is they have a poor away record and have a poor manager imo. Nevertheless at 14/5 they are tempting.

That's a bold strategy, Wayne! Is it a suggestion that Hasenhuttl is simply resting players for this game or is he being forced to play Sims?
As i said Stevie i don't know why the racing post think he will play up front. Long was injured but is back in the squad, Ings is ineligible, obafemi is injured, so i would expect austin or long to play. I have only placed the bet on the basis of value. I don't think he will start and the bet will be void, but if he does play as a striker the current price will be too low and revised upwards.

i've had a bit of a daft bet on the southampton liverpool game:
The racing post has josh sims to start up top with redmond, i don't know why.
Anyhow, his goal minutes were 3 to buy with spreadex (now moved up to 4) which if he does play up front (normally a winger) will be cheap. He hasn't however scored in his career in 41 games. He probably won't start and if so the bet is void, if he does play up front then he will be around 8 to buy.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United
Bloody hell, we've got derby matches coming out of our ears this weekend! North London Derby, West London Derby, and the Merseyside Derby have all been played this weekend and now it's the turn of the Steel City Derby. It's Sheffield Wednesday versus Sheffield United in a 7:45pm kick-off at Hillsborough later tonight.
Sheffield Wednesday are on the up under new manager Steve Bruce. The Owls have all but eradicated any concerns of relegation over recent weeks. The club is now in 14th place and if you whisper is quietly enough you might get away with optimistic claims of a late play-off push.
Sheffield United remain in the automatic promotion hunt. Chris Wilder's men are in 3rd place and just 3 points behind second placed Leeds with a game in hand. It's also three wins on the bounce for the Blades so they're in the middle of a purple patch which bodes well for a league game like this.
The last two league meetings between these sides have ended in a 0-0 draw. It's not hard to imagine this one will end up that way as well with United having not conceded in over 270 minutes of league football. The last time these two teams played out three consecutive draws in the league was between 1992 and 1993. Back in the days when both clubs were top flight teams battling it out in FA Cup Semi-Finals.
If United win this game then it will be the first time they have won back-to-back league games at Hillsborough since October, 1937. However, they come up against former manager and an arch nemesis in Bruce. The Wednesday gaffer has won 7 of his 9 matches against United since he left them.
This is a tricky one to call. I'm really tempted to back either a 0-0 or 1-1 draw. There is part of me that wants to back a home win but I just can't bring myself to pick a winner. So backing the draw and a low-scoring one at that seems to be the most logical option.
Draw @ 3.30 with Bet365
Total Goals Scored Under 2.5 @ 1.73 with Betfred
@waynecoyne, what's your feelings on this game mate?
Hi stevie,
as i said before i think utd are too short, but i think the draw is the smart play. As you say the last 2 meetings finished 0-0 with utd strongly fancied prior to both. Wednesday have played well in their last 2 home games v swansea and brentford winning 3-1 and 2-0. The introduction of loan players lazaar(now injured) and aarons has given the team more pace which was lacking, also the reintroduction of westwood and hutchinson gives the team more defensive stability.

ELO RATINGS say me Wednesday is a nice value opportunity today. Has stable performance better than United and team with win remain to the play-off target. Surely deserve for value to risk on her.
i think utd are too short also

sheff wed v sheff utd
Dominic iorfa came on as sub at right back v brentford when lazaar was injured with palmer switching to left back. He has been limited to sub appearances but has scored 1 late goal and has an average minutes per goal of 87. He is 6'4" so should present a threat at set plays. He may not start but i have bought his goal minutes at 2 with sporting index (bet void if doesn't start) and also backed first gs at 100 ladbrokes boosted and 80/1 last gs (not boosted).

molla wague came on as sub for forest v brentford on debut and scored a header. He is a centre back who may not start the game.
I will try a buy of his goal minutes at 2 with sporting index (void if doesn't start) and also back him to score the last goal at 50/1 with bet365.
wague doesn't start
I will switch the spread bet to buying ben Osborn at 3 with sporting index

watched with a mate who supports the wrong team
conversation went something like:
what do you think of wilder? can't stand him
what do you think of billy sharp? hate him but his mrs has big tits I've heard
did 3-2 either way so was happy with 2 mins to go but didn't work out

I remember watching villa v leeds and villa went 2 up before losing 3-2.
They seemed a bit flaky and i will try a bit of a random bet:
villa leading at ht, sheff utd leading at ft 30/1 188bet

Chelsea v Sheffield wednesday
sam Hutchinson is 3/1 to be carded(betfair) against his former club.
He plays defensive midfield usually and tends to be reckless often going to ground when tackling.
I think this is a decent price

Only went and saw the future didn't I! Well, 50% of it. You know how these things are. Gets a bit cloudy up there!
great tip stevie-well done

Aapo halme scored v qpr for leeds. He is a 6' 5" centre back who could come in to the team with leeds injuries even conceivably as a replacement for the suspended kalvin phillips in midfield. His goal minutes are 4 to buy with spreadex which i will try. Bet void if he doesn't start.
I've also had a small bet on alioski to score from outside the penalty area at 22/1 with skybet. He likes a shot from range and also with doubts about hernandez and douglas he could be on free kick duty.
-
With van dijk expected to be rested and maybe fabinho playing centre back liverpool could be vulnerable aerially.
Willy Boly has 2 goals in 21 games and scored v spurs recently.
I have bought his goal minutes at 4 with sporting index and backed him first goalscorer at 60/1 and also last goalscorer at 60/1
ladbrokes boosted.

Liverpool odds look too big to me also, I will try:
Liverpool 13/5 4 pts
Liverpool and btts at 9/2 4 pts
Liverpool 3-1 and 3-2 at 25/1 and 28/1 both 1 pt
all with bet 365

Swansea vs Sheffield Wednesday
My second preview this weekend covers the Swansea versus Sheffield Wednesday game that's a 3pm kick-off this Saturday at the Liberty Stadium. Now, @waynecoyne, it's a sorry state of affairs that the Owls are in and, as a Cardiff fan, this write-up is going to likely be painful for both of us.
Swansea are having a season of mixed results. Graham Potter has been managing with one arm tied behind his back. God knows what those American owners are up to but the club certainly appears to be drifting into anonymity. Unless there is investment in the playing staff in January then it's hard to see the Swans ending up higher than their current 12th place position in the Championship.
Sheffield Wednesday fans are enduring their own hardships. Arguably worse than those of the Swansea faithful. Jos Luhukay is coming under increasing pressure despite his handicapped management role. The club is in 17th place and just 6 points above the relegation zone. It's a breathing space that appears to be reducing with every passing week.
If Wednesday supporters are looking for a good omen ahead of this game then they probably don't want to check the away form details. The travelling side have failed to win on their last 11 trips to Wales with 5 draws and 6 defeats. It also doesn't help that Swansea have lost their last two home games. The last time they lost three home games in a row at home was back in 2004.
I'm afraid I can't see a positive result for Wednesday here. Swansea have lost 4 of their last 6 league games but the 3-2 win away to Brentford will certainly have boosted their spirits. Wednesday have won just 1 game in their last 9 league games and their last away win was on 7th October. I think we might see a few goals given the fragility of the two defensive set-ups but Swansea will likely take all three points to add more woes on to Wednesday.
Swansea to Win @ 1.75 with BetVictor
BTTS @ 1.75 with 888Sport
have to agree with you @StevieDay1983
I can't see Wednesday getting anything, the manager is a dead man walking and has lost the players as well as the fans. Bannan is suspended and forestieri injured. Joao is our best hope of a goal.
I may double Swansea with baron alco at cheltenham

Sheffield united v west brom
Chris basham has 3 goals already this season an average of 596 minutes per goal.
I will chance a buy of his goal minutes at 3 with spreadex.
Other possibles are o'connell (1 goal and average of 1787) at 4 or baldock at 6 ( 1 goal and a low average of 460)
-
Newcastle v wolves
Ciaran clark has 2 goals in 6 (+2 sub) appearances for Newcastle.
I think the 50/1 first goalscorer looks overpriced with bet 365.
I will try a bet on fgs and also a separate bet on him for last goalscorer at 50/1 also
Best scenario is he scores the only goal and both bets collect

11 minutes ago, Bang on said:
You will probably find out more later this month. The Wednesday chairman is supposed to be having a meeting with any fans who wish to attend where he will answer all questions as full as possible. This might end speculation as 'some' of the supposed restrictions have not been confirmed.
As for United being a selling club, you are probably right as we don't pay anywhere near the amount in wages paid at Wednesday so players move on. We do however have one of the most successful academies as can be judged by looking at the number moving on to the Premier league.
I think @Bang on that you are a very well run club and am a little envious. I'd had a few shandies so was having a cheap dig, so sorry about that. It just must be a bit galling for you as a bit more investment in the team and you could get to the promised land. Selling is part of a successful strategy, something we studiously avoid. As for Chansiri telling the truth I do not expect that to happen at all.

i was listening for team news on Wednesday Rotherham and heard the following:
Forestieri is injured and bannan has an issue which stopped him training but whether it stops him playing is unclear.
For Rotherham paul warne says that they have had illness in the camp so have been careful to not overtrain and have sent a couple home who were ill. So mixed messages and not very conclusive.

Had a bit on derby to be promoted at 25/1 which seems too big to me (paddy power). Playing for the last play off spot they are two points off Bristol city in sixth. Recent form seems to have improved and mason mount is now fit again.
