Sheffield United travel to Plymouth hoping to avoid losing a third successive Championship fixture. They are third in the table with their opponents rock bottom of the Championship. Can the Blades get their promotion bid back on track? Here's our match prediction.
Plymouth are five points from safety but that's virtually six because of their appalling goal difference. Midweek saw them lose 3-0 at Swansea, their 20th league defeat of the season. Their away form has been dreadful with only nine points earned all season.
Home form has been slightly better though with seven league wins. Their most recent home fixture saw them beat Norwich 2-1 but that ended a run of three without a win at Home Park.
Sheffield United begin the weekend two points behind leaders Leeds United and Burnley. The top two earn automatic promotion and United are already assured a play-off position. Their last two league games have hit their hopes of automatic promotion back to the Premier League.
The Blades lost away at Oxford before a midweek home loss to Millwall. They had been unbeaten in their last five league matches before those losses. On the road, United have won 12 league fixtures and had won six in a row before losing at Oxford.
We go for United to win this match.

Our Plymouth vs Sheffield United Prediction
With just five games remaining, both clubs would love to earn three points from this match. Plymouth are in desperate trouble down at the foot of the table and lost again in midweek. Their home form has seen them win seven games but six have been lost.
Sheffield United are still in with a good chance of making an immediate return to the Premier League. Two successive defeats cannot become three though. We believe they can recover the situation and our Plymouth v Sheffield United prediction is Sheffield United to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
