Sheffield United vs Burnley Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Devesh Jaganath | in Championship Predictions
English Championship action continues on Boxing Day afternoon when Sheffield United will welcome Burnley to Bramall Lane. The Blades enter the match leading the league with 48 points, while the Clarets are breathing down their neck in third position with 44 points. Let's get into the match prediction!
Sheffield United continued their dominant run of form last weekend by dispatching Cardiff City 2-0, thanks to a second-half brace by Kieffer Moore in his first start after eight games.
With that result, the Blades are now unbeaten in 11 matches, with nine victories and eight clean sheets to their name during this period.
At home, Bramall Lane has become a fortress for the hosts, who have secured nine consecutive wins and clean sheets in this competition leading up to this match.
Meanwhile, the Clarets would thank Josh Brownhill for his goal and assist in their 2-1 victory against the formidable Watford, marking the skippers’ fifth goal involvement in five matches.
That outcome was their ninth consecutive match without defeat, finding six victories and being held at a stalemate just three times dating back to the start of November.
The Clarets are now gunning for a fourth consecutive away league victory. However, the two defeats they have conceded this term both came on the road.
