Sheffield United vs Coventry City Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 28/03/2025, 07:11  by Nella Wagah in Championship Predictions

Sheffield United will have the chance to go top of the Championship, for at least 24 hours, when they host Coventry City. Heading into this match, Sheffield are second, but on the same points tally with leaders Leeds United while Coventry are fifth. We have a prediction below.

This will be the first match in the Championship right after the international break. The Blades are pushing for automatic promotion and with a win, will open up a five-point gap in that respect.

With eight matches remaining, any wins now could turn invaluable. Sheffield got one in the derby before the international break, beating Sheffield Wednesday 1-0.

Coventry beat fellow top-six contenders Sunderland 3-0 in their last outing. They will hope the international break hasn’t slowed them down. An upturn in form has the Sky Blues as strong contenders for a top six finish.

It is still a tight race though, with five points separating the fifth from the eighth team. With the team directly above them being 10 points clear, it seems Coventry will have to make do with a place out of the top four.

It won’t matter though, as long as a play-off slot is secure. Frank Lampard’s side is on four away wins in the last five Championship matches. Coventry City scored late in the reverse match to force a 2-2 draw.
