Sheffield United vs Sunderland match prediction 24 May 2025

Sheffield United will aim to secure a win and extend their unbeaten streak to five games and find a place in the English Premier League next season, while Sunderland will aim to prevent a defeat, but aim to secure a win. Therefore, I expect both teams to perform in front of the net, while I expect their defensive units not to give up without a fight. Therefore, I expect more than 9 corner kicks to be recorded, even though I expect both teams to see the net. However, since both teams have recorded more than 4.5 caution cards in four of their last five head-to-head games, and since they will aim to secure a win, I expect both teams to display an aggressive play while I expect the officiating officer to give out cards.
