Bristol City vs Sheffield United Predictions

• Both teams have scored in each of Bristol City’s last seven home games.
• Sheffield United have scored in their last five matches.
• Five of Bristol City’s last seven home matches have seen them win by a 2-1 scoreline.

Goals expected at Ashton Gate

Sheffield United’s 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers on the final day of the season played a big part in getting Bristol City to the Championship play-offs, but the Robins will do no favours when the sides lock horns in the first leg of their play-off semi-final on Thursday.

Liam Manning’s side may have ended the campaign on a three-game winless run, but they haven’t lost a home game since February and have won six of their eight attempts since then.

Incredibly, five of these victories have been by a 2-1 scoreline, and a similar result could be on the cards against a Sheffield United side that have scored in each of their last five assignments.

With both teams scoring in seven successive home games for Bristol City, that looks the best bet heading into Thursday’s tie, and a 2-1 correct score prediction is worth a punt, too.
