- The Owls have failed to score in 43% of their Championship matches this season.
- Hull City has managed to score in each of their last 9 away games on the road.

Sheffield Wednesday have secured a crucial breakthrough in their ownership saga, identifying a preferred bidder just ahead of their Boxing Day clash with Hull City. The "fully funded" offer from an experienced consortium aims to settle outstanding debts and avoid a further 15-point deduction next season. While administrative approval is pending, the news provides much-needed stability as manager Henrik Pedersen navigates a growing injury crisis within the Owls' squad.
Hull City is currently a team on a mission. Sitting in 4th place, they have shown a level of consistency that Sheffield Wednesday simply cannot match right now. The Tigers have won four of their last five games, demonstrating a clinical edge that has propelled them into the promotion conversation. Meanwhile, Wednesday is rooted to the bottom of the table with a single win all season. Their home form is particularly worrying, as they have yet to secure a league victory at Hillsborough this campaign. Given that Hull has avoided defeat in many of their recent outings and Wednesday has lost four of their last five, the double chance for the visitors seems like a very safe play. The gulf in quality and morale between these two Yorkshire rivals is vast at this stage of the season. Still, in a derby, anything can happen, but the stats heavily favor the away side.
The logic for over 1.5 goals rests heavily on the defensive stats provided. Sheffield Wednesday concedes 2.45 goals per match at home, while Hull City scores 1.8 and concedes 1.7 on average in their away fixtures. These numbers scream goals. In fact, the overall average for total goals per match between these two sits at 3.21, which is well above the 1.5 threshold. With Hull City seeing BTTS in 80% of their away games, we can expect both ends of the pitch to see plenty of action. Wednesday has also seen BTTS in 3 of their last 5 games, suggesting they are capable of contributing to the scoreline even when they lose. The festive period often leads to tired legs and defensive errors, which only increases the likelihood of multiple goals. It is a solid statistical bet based on the season-long trends of both Yorkshire outfits.
