Hillsborough will host the first Steel City derby of the season on Sunday but given that both participants currently reside in the bottom three, it is difficult to know which way the result will fall.
No other club in the Championship has scored more goals than Sheffield Wednesday (29). On the other hand, Sheffield United scored the least number of times (11).
To win, either club must overcome its shortcomings and they appear to have looked in the same direction for solutions – the north.
Wednesday brought in former Leeds United defender Liam Cooper to bolster their backline for the remainder of the season, while the Blades signed striker Patrick Bamford until January following the 32-year-old’s departure from the Whites in August.
Although the difference in play may not be to do with the personnel, but with the energy emanating from the fans around the stadium.
While the Blades feel stuck in the mud, the Owls feel the beginnings of the end to their problems despite being in administration and whether they are relegated to League One next season or not, the atmosphere is light and festive.
“There has been a big change in energy since the manager took over,” manager Henrik Pedersen told BBC Radio Sheffield.
“There is freedom again, there is faith again. People are looking to the future. You can feel a different energy on the field now.”
The Owls are yet to win at Hillsborough this season and those first three points on home soil will feel even more sweet if they are secured against their great rivals.
