Stoke City vs Sheffield United Predictions

Stoke can continue scoring streak

Stoke have scored in nine of their last ten Championship games and both teams can find the net at the bet365 Stadium when they host Sheffield United on Saturday.

This is a mid-table clash, with Stoke tenth and Sheffield United 14th in the Championship. The two sides are separated by just one point, with Stoke having three wins, one draw and three losses, and the visitors two wins, three draws and two defeats.

Stoke have won three of their last four Championship games, including their last two at home. Sheffield United’s recent form has been up and down, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six games, but they have recorded six victories in the last eight head-to-heads with Stoke.

Stoke beat Watford 2-1 last weekend to keep up their recent trend of matches with both teams scoring. Jack McGlynn grabbed the opener on the stroke of half time and Eric Bocat also scored. Stoke were leading at half time for the fourth game in a row. They will have been pleased with the three points, having been priced at 21/10 to win the game.

Both teams have scored in four of Sheffield United’s last five Championship matches.

Both teams are struggling defensively. Stoke have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last ten Championship games against Sheffield United, while it is five games since the visitors last recorded a shutout.

It could be hard to separate these two sides, with the 1-1 draw looking a decent correct-score bet. Stoke have scored in all seven of their league games this season, and five of those matches have seen both teams score.
