Competition: Championship
Market: Sheffield United win
Odds: 8/15 @ 888sport
Looking to take another giant step towards a Premier League return on Tuesday night, Sheffield United will welcome Bristol City to Bramall Lane.
Starting with the hosts, making an immediate return to winning ways last weekend as they cruised their way to a stellar 4-1 romp at home against Cardiff, Sheffield United are inching towards a Premier League return. Opening up Tuesday’s showdown at Bramall Lane holding a five-point buffer from slipping out of the automatic promotion places, Paul Heckingbottom’s men should be smelling the chance to make another statement here. Making real history last month as they punched their FA Cup semi-final ticket and with a heavyweight showdown against Manchester City fast approaching, the Blades have now won five of their last six matchups against Championship opposition. With their extended purple patch stemming all the way back to March 11th, Sheffield United are rightfully tipped as a standout pick in midweek. It should also be noted, only continuing to shine on home soil, Heckingbottom’s high-flying squad have won 11 of their previous 13 appearances at Bramall Lane.
As for the visitors, while Bristol City might have been enjoying a much-needed flurry when opening 2023, the Robins have come crashing back down to earth in some style. Last seen over the weekend putting in another downbeat display as they suffered a 2-0 loss away at Watford, Nigel Pearson’s men have come tumbling down the Championship table. Heading into March’s international break with another 2-0 defeat at the hands of Swansea, the midweek guests have claimed just a single win from any of their last six meetings against second-tier opposition. Knowing that they will face a huge challenge when they travel to Bramall Lane on Tuesday night, the one-time Leicester boss has seen his side gain a reputation for their issues on the road. Recording just a pair of Championship wins away from Ashton Gate since way back on December 10th, we are backing a fairly routine home victory here.
Bet: Sheffield United 8/15 to beat Bristol City in Tuesday’s Championship showdown @ 888sport
