Sunderland vs Sheffield United Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Nella Wagah in Championship Predictions
Pressure is mounting on second-place Sheffield United in their push for a straight return to the Premier League. They’ll have another chance in their promotion quest when they travel to fourth-placed Sunderland. We have a prediction for this match below.
Just like the Blades are seeking promotion, so are the Black Cats. Wins in this fixture have been elusive for Sunderland, and that’s a stat they’ll be keen to break. The hosts have three straight defeats in this fixture.
The only time they avoided defeat against Sheffield in six meetings was in a League Cup game. Ahead of this match, they lost just twice in 17 matches. In 11 Championship home matches they are unbeaten.
Sheffield United’s performance in the last two matches represent their poorest run since losing back-to-back in October. From six points on offer, Sheffield managed just one in their last two league matches.
Their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion. That was some improvement from their 2-0 defeat to Burnley on Boxing Day. With only one defeat in 13 matches, Sheffield United will be confident of rising again.
They take to this game a run of six away matches without defeat and have won four of them. That, and their run against Sunderland will offer them the needed inspiration.

Our Sunderland vs Sheffield United Prediction
Sheffield United are dominant in this fixture and will hope to extend that going into this game. They are unbeaten in their last six away matches, but here they also meet a side on a good run. Sunderland take into this game good form at home, undefeated in their last 11 matches.
However, seven of their last 12 matches ended in draws. Sheffield United on their part, drew two of their last four away matches. There’s a chance the teams’ current run will cancel out. Our prediction for Sunderland v Sheffield United is for the game to end in a draw.
