Another week, another cracking derby game in the Championship. The Steel City rivalry is a big one with tons of history and the match itself should be closely fought. Sheffield United are flying this season, while their cross-town rivals are comfortable enough in midtable. If there is a reason to fear being sucked into the relegation dogfight for Wednesday it is their away form. They've only one twice on the road this season with 4 draws and 9 defeats. Bramall Lane hasn't exactly been a fortress for United, but 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats is solid enough and their recent good form should continue with a win here. 10/11 for the win from Stan James should be decent value for an accumulator, but if you're looking for bigger returns you might want to look at the winning margin market. Bet365 will give you 5/2 on Sheffield United to win by 2 or more goals.

Reading v Preston
Okay, I got burned on Reading last week, but this match sees them return to the Madjeski Stadium which has been an absolute fortress for them this season. Preston are flying high in 6th, but have struggled on their travels and I'm sure would be happy with a point from this game. 4/6 isn't exactly going to make you rich, but the various markets on goals etc aren't offering much value. If I had to take a punt I would suggest a 2-1 Reading win Correct Score bet at 7/1 with most bookmakers.

MK Dons v Crewe
My last pick is a dip into the lower leagues. 2nd v 22nd shouldn't provide much value and therefore it isn't surprising Milton Keynes are 4/9 to win. Their home form is solid, if not spectacular, but Crewe's dire away form is responsible in no small part for their current predicament. Not a bad banker for an accumulator here, but for better value I suggest the handicap market which will give you 11/10 for MK Dons -1.
