Sheffield United have stayed defiant in the Championship and will be looking to leap again when they host Birmingham this Saturday. Placed 18th, Sheffield are looking to frustrate Birmingham, who sit five places ahead. Below we have a prediction of this match.
Sheffield United didn’t just turn up at West Bromwich Albion last week as their seven-match unbeaten run was broken. The Blades suffered a 2-0 defeat on the road and will be targeting to bounce back.
In those seven matches, Chris Wilder’s side registered four wins. They still have their home run intact, unbeaten in the last four outings at Bramall Lane.
Birmingham were on the verge of ending their winless run in the last outing, but Charlton’s second-half revival saw the match end 1-1. Coming into this match, they have already beaten Sheffield United this season.
The two met in the League Cup in August, and the Blues ran out 2-1 winners at home. Now facing off in Sheffield, they know their hosts will be going for revenge.
Birmingham will feel this is a storm they can weather, having avoided defeat away to Sheffield in the last five visits. However, their own away form in recent weeks hasn’t been great.
They are coming off a run of four losses in the last five matches on the road.

Our Sheffield United vs Birmingham Prediction
Away matches haven't been the best for Birmingham to hunt for points. In their 11 in the league, they’ve managed just two wins. This will be another difficult encounter on the road, and Sheffield United looking to bounce back doesn’t make it a good prospect for the visitors.
The Blades had an under-par performance in the last outing, but coming back home will lift them. They are unbeaten in the last four home matches. Our prediction for Sheffield United v Birmingham is that Sheffield United wins.
