Is Middlesbrough v Sheffield Wednesday on TV? Channel and streaming details for Yorkshire derby
The key TV and streaming details ahead of Middlesbrough’s Yorkshire derby clash with Sheffield Wednesday
Middlesbrough are set to play host to Sheffield Wednesday in a Yorkshire derby at the Riverside.
Kim Hellberg’s Boro are aiming to reach the Premier League but their hopes of automatic promotion have been fading at an alarmingly swift rate.
They have slipped to fifth in the Championship table, six points adrift of second-placed Millwall. A win over Wednesday would reduce the gap and although Boro will be fancied for a victory, the Owls have been awkward customers of late.
Henrik Pedersen’s Owls have already had their relegation to League One confirmed but are still scrapping with sides far above them in the table. Across their last three games, Wednesday have held Leicester City, Coventry City and Charlton Athletic to draws.
After Wednesday’s battle with the latter at the weekend, Pedersen said: “This was a strong performance from the boys again. Sometimes we were maybe a bit loose on the ball but to play with courage at this point in the season makes me so proud.
“The culture is very good with my players. I think defensively we are solid, we are difficult to play against and we have looked better and better on the ball in the last three games.”
Here are the key TV and streaming details as Middlesbrough and Wednesday prepare to do battle.
