Darren Moore is still dividing opinion at Hillsborough despite guiding the Owls into the play-offs at the first time of asking. The former West Bromwich Albion and Doncaster Rovers boss took over at Sheffield Wednesday with the club in freefall but has since steadied the ship and his side are the bookmakers' favourites heading into the play-offs.
In reality, the latest odds count for nothing, as Sunderland supporters know all too well. Both sides have won one game apiece in the head-to-head battle this season, with the Black Cats edging out in front with goal difference of plus two from the two games.
The Black Cats have been here before and play-off heartache is something fans are accustomed to, but there's hope this time will be different. Wednesday have the best home record in the division and Sunderland are just two points behind them in that regard, while both sides boast a similar record on their travels this season.
