Bristol City vs Sheffield United Prediction: Sheffield are going as favourites

Bristol City will welcome Sheffield United at Ashton Gate Stadium in Game Week 14 of the English Championship. Sheffield are going as favourites according to their position in the championship table. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Bristol City has won four games, drew seven, and lost twice of their 13 league fixtures this term. They total nineteen points and sit eighth. So far, they stand two points adrift from promotion hopefuls West Bromwich Albion on sixth place. Currently on an eight-game unbeaten streak under the charge of Liam Manning, side has three victories and five draws since the Blackburn Rovers in mid-September, when the team lost to them. Bristol City has scored 17 goals so far this season in the Championship league and are at par among the leading teams in scoring, yet they have conceded 17. The team hasn't been good against Sheffield United, and they last won against them in March 2019. Sheffield United has won five games on the trot, and they have not lost a single game to Bristol City in the Championship season 2022-23. They have won both their matches against Bristol City with a 1-0 margin in the Championship season 2022-23.

Sheffield United ended in last position in the 2023-24 season for the Premier League, therefore relegated to the Championship, but they are said to fight for an immediate return back into the top tier of the English football league. From 13 league matches, the team won eight, drew three, and lost two, so gathered 25 points, placing them on the third position in that league, four points below Sunderland.

Chris Wilder's team have netted just 16 times in the Championship this season but boast the second-best defensive record, conceding just six goals. Following a 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough on October 23, they recorded successive 2-0 victories at Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers.

Sheffield United take their 11 points accumulated from their seven away Championship matches into this encounter with Bristol City, who are yet to lose at home this term.

Four of Bristol City's six home Championship games so far this season have ended in draws while Sheffield United has won just three out of seven away league games. The Tuesday night game thus could go either way, however, we reckon it would be a low-scoring win for the blades.
