Sheffield United vs Reading Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions
The battle for the top six in the Championship is on, and the top two sides will face off, with leaders Reading hoping to stay top as they travel to Sheffield United for the seventh game of the campaign. Reading have 12 points going into this game, one ahead of Sheffield. The home team dropped to second after a 1-1 draw with Luton Town in the last game. Oliver McBurnie’s equalizing goal saw Sheffield United go unbeaten in four matches but they couldn’t register a third straight win. One concern for them will be the fact that they only managed two clean sheets in seven matches across all competitions this season. They’ve however scored at least two goals in three of their last four matches.
Three straight wins and clean sheets have propelled Reading to the top of the Championship table and the target here will be to hold on. They are coming from a 1-0 win over Millwall courtesy of Mohamadou Sarr’s early goal, and as they look to keep the good run, they will want to improve on the attack. In their seven matches across all competitions this season, they’ve scored more than a goal in just two. The fact that they have three straight clean sheets has improved their goal difference but having conceded six times in the last five matches gives the feeling they will struggle a bit against Sheffield. It will not help much that they’ve lost two of their opening three away matches, and failed to score in them.

Our Sheffield United vs Reading Prediction
Reading are top of the table but haven’t looked very stable defensively, which will pose a few problems, facing one of the best scoring sides so far. Sheffield have netted two or more in three of their last four games and they have three straight home wins. Reading’s away run hasn’t been strong and thus we will back a Sheffield win here.
