THE PREDICTION
Managerless Sheffield Wednesday pulled off a shock victory at home to Middlesbrough last time out to move within three points of safety. The Owls have now accrued seven points from their last nine available as they search for a new manager to lead their fight for Championship survival this season. Victory at home to Derby would take them above the Rams and out of the bottom three, however the visitors are coming off the back of an excellent 0-4 win away at Birmingham. A tense game is in prospect with the stakes high and both teams knowing how much of a crushing blow defeat would prove. This will likely lead to a turgid encounter and both teams having to settle for a draw after cancelling each other out offensively.
