Sheffield United vs Birmingham Predictions

Blades to secure the points

Sheffield United are the best bet to beat Birmingham at Bramall Lane on Saturday. The visitors have lost their last two Championship away games and can be backed to go down again here.

Birmingham are six places and points above Sheffield United, who sit 18th in the table with seven wins and 12 losses from their 21 games this season.

Sheffield United have kept their opponents at bay in four of their last six Championship home games.

They have lost just one of their last six home games in the Championship.

Birmingham need to turn things around, having lost four of their last five away games in the Championship. They are without a win in three league matches and have only won on one of their last ten road trips.

The visitors have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, scoring just eight goals in 11 games – an average of 0.73 goals a game on the road.

The visitors have struggled defensively of late, failing to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last ten Championship games. They have not kept out the opposition in any of their last five away matches.

Sheffield United to win 1-0 at home looks a decent correct-score bet. Thirteen of their 21 league games this season have finished with at least one of the sides failing to score, two of the last three Championship head-to-heads have seen them win by the odd goal, and five of Birmingham’s eight defeats have come by the odd goal.
