After winning starts to the season in the League Cup, Sheffield United and Birmingham are set to meet in the Championship. This matchday one encounter will be hosted by Sheffield at Bramall Lane. The hosts are unbeaten in five league games against Birmingham, and our prediction tips the same here.
Half of Sheffield United’s 18 wins last season came at home, and they will be looking to improve. Fortunately, they have a good run against Birmingham in recent times, and this includes a 3-0 win the last time the Blues visited.
However, the Blades lost their last two home matches in the Championship and will be hoping that run doesn’t get to three.
Birmingham will start their second season in the Championship, hoping to improve on their 10th-place finish last season. The visitors will be targeting at least a place in the playoffs, having missed by nine points last season.
To achieve that, one of the areas they have to improve on is the performance on the road. The visitors managed just five wins away from home in last season’s 23 outings.
They actually failed to win any of their last six away league games, losing four. A 1-0 win in the first round of the League Cup against Swansea last week will be a good starting point for a Birmingham side desperate to improve on last season’s lows.

Our Sheffield United vs Birmingham Prediction
Birmingham’s record away from home in the Championship last season was not great. They could only win five of their 23 matches and lost 13 times. In their closing six matches on the road, they registered four losses and two draws.
Unless they improve from this shape, the Blues will have it tough against the Blades. Sheffield United haven’t lost to Birmingham in five league matches, and playing at home adds to their edge. Our prediction for Sheffield United v Birmingham is that Sheffield United wins.
