Bristol City will aim to return to winning ways in the English Championship when they host Sheffield United at home. Sheffield Utd have scored in six of their past eight games, taking their league tally to 14 goals. With both teams on double-digit goals ahead of Saturday's clash, our Bristol City vs Sheffield United match prediction is over 2.5 goals.
10-man Sheffield Utd were beaten 3-2 in their last game against Portsmouth. Sheffield's loss to Portsmouth followed a 3-0 victory over Lincoln, their third victory in ten league games. The home side has also scored 14 goals in the league, netting at 1.4 per game, making them the second-highest scoring side in the second half of the table.
However, the Robins, who they play next, have 12 goals in the same number of games. Despite losing 1-0 to Blackburn in their last game, Bristol City have shown some proficiency in front of goal, scoring in seven of their ten league games. They are also only two points above Sheffield, showing how closely matched both teams are.
Bristol could extend their lead at the top if they can nick another victory against Sheffield United, just like they did in their past two H2H meetings. However, Sheffield is also scoring goals, so we expect the game to end with over 2.5 goals.

The Robins won the past two H2H matches against Sheffield United. Yet, Saturday's game could go either way as the away side are only two points behind while having more league goals in the same number of games. The Blades also have two wins in their past five H2H games, the same number as the home side.
With all to play for and two closely matched teams set to go H2H on Saturday, we expect a high-scoring affair with three goals or more, just like three of their past four clashes. Hence, our Bristol City vs Sheffield United prediction is Over 2.5 Goals.
