Derby County vs Sheffield United Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Sridhar in Championship Predictions
The struggling Derby County side will be desperate to halt their losing slide but faces an uphill task in the Championship matchday 30 meeting against promotion-chasing Sheffield United. This match at the Pride Park Stadium on Saturday between the 22nd-placed Rams and the 2nd-placed Blades comes with our prediction of an away win.
Derby has 27 points and is two behind safety coming into this round. United has 58 points and is two behind the leaders, Leeds, but only one ahead of third-placed Burnley. Derby lost 2-1 at Cardiff last weekend, making it six defeats in a row for the struggling hosts. Add the defeat in the FA Cup, and that makes it seven in a row for the Rams!
Playing at home hasn’t been any good for Derby with three defeats in a row at this venue. All three saw the hosts failing to score, which remains a concern for them.
Sheffield is still in the Championship automatic promotion places, despite losing 3-0 at home against Hull last week. That halted a three-game winning run for the Blades, who need wins in their quest to remain in the top two spots.
The Blades won’t mind being on the road, having won four of their last five away league matches, losing just once.

Our Derby County vs Sheffield United Prediction
Sheffield United won the reverse fixture 1-0 and comes into this match on the back of some impressive recent results. Not only have they won four of their last five league trips, but they have also picked up three wins from the last four league games anywhere. Yet, they need to bounce back from a loss to Hull last time out. They have a chance to do so against a Derby side that lost six in a row in this competition. Our Derby County v Sheffield United prediction is Sheffield United wins the match.
