Sheffield United vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Ian John in Championship Predictions
Sheffield United take on Watford in the Championship in a clash between two unbeaten teams in the division. The Blades have won one and drawn two of their opening three games, collecting five points. But the Hornets have stung their opponents, winning all three matches to be one of two teams with a 100% winning record with two games. What will be our key match prediction for this battle of the two unbeaten teams?
Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United started their campaign this season with a fine 2-0 win away to Lancashire rivals Preston North End. In their second league game at home, QPR held the Blades 2-2 and last weekend, the Blades travelled to Carrow Road to face Norwich where they earned a 1-1 draw.
They come into this game having narrowly lost 1-0 in a Yorkshire derby clash with Barnsley in the second round of the Carabao Cup in midweek. However, Chris Wilder rested a number of key players for that game, who will likely return for this fixture with Watford.
Under new manager Tom Cleverley, Watford have enjoyed a fantastic start to the season, winning all five of their league and cup matches so far. The Hornets have despatched Millwall (3-2), Stoke City (3-0) and Derby County (2-1) in the league as well as MK Dons (5-0) and Plymouth (2-0) in the Carabao Cup.
However, this is the Hornets first real test this season against a team likely to be challenging for promotion and history shows that fixtures between these two in recent times have been very tight, low-scoring affairs.

Watford may have been amongst the goals of late, but Sheffield United are one of the stronger defensive teams in the Championship, especially at home. Recent history shows games between these two teams have been very tight of late with one goal or fewer scored in three of the last four matches between the two. After making solid starts, this will be a tight game where one goal either way likely to be the difference.
