Sheffield United vs Coventry City Prediction & Picks - Championship

Prediction published on 3/26/25, 3:00 PM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 3/27/25 at 6:31 AM in Soccer Picks

The Championship resumes this Friday with a match between Sheffield United and Coventry City in matchday 39. The group coached by Chris Wilder, currently second in the Championship and still in the hunt for the title and a promotion to the top flight without having to go through the Premier League play-offs, are the logical favorites. Nothing will be easy from the outset, however, as their opponents this evening occupy ... fifth place! Suffice to say, the Blades will have to put on their best suit to avoid a bad night before the weekend kicks off. Unbeaten in their last four games on English soil, including an important win over Sheffield Wednesday in the derby before the international break, the red-and-blacks are ready to send a message in the title race after 90 minutes. 

Coventry City have got the message. Without an XXL performance, no feat will be possible on the pitch of one of the Second Division's best pupils. To achieve this, Franck Lampard's men can rely on an exceptional run of form: six wins in seven games, including an exceptional 3-0 victory over Sunderland on the previous matchday. Clearly not the best time to challenge the Bantams. It's up to the blue and skies to show a winning face and strike a blow in the race for the top 6!
