Sheffield United vs Bristol City Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Sheffield United have won four of their last five games
• Sheffield United have kept six clean sheets in their last eight wins
• Bristol City have won just one of their last seven away fixtures
• Bristol City have failed to score in any of their last five defeats

Sheffield United should go up

Sheffield United are in pole position to win the race for the second automatic promotion spot, currently five points ahead of third-placed Luton with a game in hand and vastly superior goal difference. They will be looking to end the season strongly, with visits to Birmingham and Huddersfield, as well as Tuesday night’s home game against Bristol City looking appealing for them.

Sheffield United have won four of their last five games, and have kept clean sheets in six of their last eight wins, so facing a visit from a Bristol City side who have won just one of their last seven away games, and have failed to score in any of their last five defeats looks positive for the hosts. As a result, a prediction of Sheffield United to win to nil appeals here.

Nothing to play for

Bristol City are stranded in mid-table, with no danger of the Robins going down due to their 11-point gap from the relegation zone, but it would be too late to mount a challenge for the playoff places, with ten points separating them from the top six.

With hosts Sheffield United looking to secure automatic promotion, and the visitors not having much to play for, it should be a straight forward victory for the Blades, with a correct score prediction of 2-0 looking good, due to City having failed to score in any of their last five defeats.
