Birmingham City boosted their Championship promotion play-off hopes with a midweek win over QPR. The Blues are 10th in the table and look to get another victory when they host 13th-placed Sheffield United on Saturday. Time for our match prediction.
City's 1-0 win took them to within five points of the final promotion play-off position. It was a much needed win for them as the Blues had been beaten in their previous three EFL fixtures. Two of those had been played at home.
Birmingham have won nine of their 18 home league games this season. Two of the last three have seen under 2.5 goals scored.
It's been a strange season for Sheffield United after being relegated from the EPL last term. The Blades made an appalling start to the season and ended up rehiring Chris Wilder as coach. A good recovery has been made and they are only eight points behind sixth place.
Their play-off hopes were hit in midweek as they were beaten 2-1 at Norwich City. That ended a run of four consecutive away league games in which under 2.5 goals had been scored. United have only won one of their last four league fixtures.
We tip under 2.5 goals to be scored.

Our Birmingham vs Sheffield United Prediction
A strong finish to the main season for these clubs could yet see them finish in the play-off positions. Birmingham City beat struggling QPR 1-0 at home on Wednesday and they really needed that victory after a poor run of late.
Sheffield United were concerned about relegation earlier in the season but have rallied well. Their promotion hopes suffered a blow in midweek with a loss at Norwich. They need to bounce back and our Birmingham v Sheffield United prediction is under 2.5 goals scored.
