Sheffield United vs West Bromwich Albion Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Sheffield United have won four of their last five home league games
• Sheffield United concede an average of just 0.86 goals per game at home in the league
• West Brom have won just two of their last seven games

West Brom still hunting a playoff place

Despite sitting ninth in the league, just two points are separating West Brom from sixth place, and three from fifth, with Wednesday night’s fixture their game in hand over four of the five teams separating them between them and fifth.

However, a visit to Sheffield United is one of the toughest tests they could face, as the Blades have won four of their last five home games and five of their last six games in the Championship. United’s home form has been excellent this season, averaging just 0.86 league goals conceded per game at Bramall Lane, and should continue to prove tough to beat against a West Brom side who’ve won just two of their last seven games, and have lost 43% of their away games this season. As a result, a prediction for Sheffield United to win looks good.

Sheffield United could secure promotion

A win on Wednesday night would secure automatic promotion to the Premier League for Sheffield United, moving them to 85 points and seven ahead of third-placed Luton with just six left to play for.

A big reason for Sheffield United’s fantastic campaign has been their fantastic defensive record, with just 36 goals conceded in their 42 games played, and the Baldes have kept a clean sheet in five of their last six home wins. Adding to that, the Baggies have kept just one clean sheet in their last five games, including conceding two to a struggling QPR side, three to Rotherham and a further two to Sunderland in that time. Therefore, a correct score prediction of 2-0 Sheffield United appeals most here.
