Sheffield United vs Watford Predictions

• The hosts have secured maximum points in 10 of their 16 home league games this season.
• The visitors have failed to win in 12 of their 17 away league outings.
• After a run of two defeats, the Blades will be desperate to secure a win.

Hosts looking to return to form

How teams respond to a wobble can often decide who secures promotion and that’s exactly where the Blades find themselves after two consecutive losses in the Championship. They still occupy second spot and have a four point advantage over Middlesbrough but they will be keen to return to winning ways here. You’d be brave to bet against them considering they have emerged victorious in 10 of those 16 games.

However, the visitors will be hoping they can capitalise on any potential lack of confidence and claim a win of their own. If they’re to manage that, improving their defence will be key as they have shipped at least once in five of their last six away games across all competitions. They’ve avoided defeat in both of their previous visits to this stadium, but they could be facing the backlash.

Home win looks to be on the cards

The hosts have wobbled but they’re the better team and on home soil, they’ll fancy themselves to claim victory. We echo those sentiments and will back Sheffield United to claim all three points.
