Sheffield United vs Bristol City Prediction: Sheffield United have been in impressive form recently

Sheffield United is set to host Bristol City on Tuesday at Bramall Lane. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes? 

Sheffield United

The focus for Sheffield United is not on winning the Championship title, but on maintaining their second-place position and earning automatic promotion to the Premier League. After a 4-1 victory over Cardiff City, they will face Bristol City on Tuesday, with James McAtee, Jack Robinson, Iliman Ndiaye, and Ciaran Clark among the goalscorers in the previous match. Although they are five points ahead of third-placed Luton with a game in hand, Sheffield United may be slightly preoccupied with their upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.

Fortunately, their next three Championship matches will be at home, where they have earned 42 points from 20 matches this season. It will give them great confidence. After being relegated from the Premier League last season and losing in the playoffs, Paul Heckingbottom's team is now on course to return to the top tier next season.

Sheffield United Predicted lineup

Davies; Baldock, Egan, Robinson; Bogle, Berge, Doyle, Lowe; McAtee, McBurnie, Ndiaye

Bristol City Form

Ahead of their match against Sheffield United, Bristol City will be looking to bounce back from their 2-0 loss to Watford, which ended their three-game unbeaten run in the Championship. Nigel Pearson's team are sitting in 14th place, 11 points clear of the relegation zone and 10 points adrift of the playoffs, which means they are very likely to stay in the second tier next season. The Robins have spent the last eight seasons in the Championship and are aiming to improve on last season's 17th-place finish.

Bristol City's away form has been inconsistent this season, having picked up 22 points from 21 games on the road. They will be up against Sheffield United, who have lost only four of their 20 home league matches in the current campaign. The Robins have not beaten Sheffield United since March 2019 and lost 1-0 to them earlier this season.

O'Leary; Tanner, Vyner, Pring, Dasilva; King, James; Cornick, Weimann, Bell; Wells

Sheffield United vs Bristol City Expert tips

Sheffield United have been in impressive form recently, winning five of their last six matches in all competitions. Additionally, they have won their last three home games and will likely approach this match with confidence. On the other hand, Bristol City's recent form has been lacklustre, as they have failed to win in their last two games and have only won one of their last six matches. Furthermore, their away form has been poor, with just one win in their last seven away games. The match might be challenging, but the home team's superior quality should help them prevail over their rivals on Tuesday evening. Expect more than 2.5 goals in the game.
