Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Indran in Championship Predictions
Nottingham Forest welcomes Sheffield United to the City Ground in this second leg match of the promotional playoffs in the Championship. The home side gained a valuable 2-1 win in the away leg and only need a draw in this match to progress into the final. Nottingham Forest have been in great recent form in the league losing only two of their last 11 matches. Their home record in second tier football against Sheffield United is exceptional with just one defeat in their last 13 matches, winning seven and drawing five. Nottingham Forest will want to avoid becoming just the second team in second tier playoff history to win the first leg away from home and then fail to progress. They have played four previous home matches in the playoffs but are yet to win, losing two and drawing two.
Sheffield United will be kicking themselves after losing the first leg but will but will be thankful for scoring late in the game, as this gives them a glimmer of hope. The loss was especially difficult as they have beaten champions Fulham 4-0 at home in the previous match. Sheffield United finished the regular season in fifth place, just below the Nottingham team so we can expect another tight contest between these evenly matches teams. Sheffield United have never won any of their eight away matches in the League playoffs, drawing five matches and losing three. They have the unfortunate record of reaching eight playoffs without ever gaining promotion.
