Two of the in-form Championship teams meet at Bramall Lane on Wednesday as Sheffield United host Coventry City in a pivotal match for both teams. The Blades come into this game in good shape under Chris Wilder, with relegation fears now forgotten. The Sky Blues came through a sticky spell and have landed back to back wins to go back top of the table. Here's our match prediction.
Currently in the Championship table, Sheffield United have improved their position to 14th after the weekend's games. They have taken 45 points from their 33 games and are just six points outside the playoff places. Coventry are now top of the table once again, having taken 65 points from their 33 games, three clear of Middlesbrough.
Sheffield United's recent form is excellent with just one defeat in their last six. A 3-1 win over Oxford United at home was followed by a 2-1 defeat to Middlesbrough also at home. However, the Blades then won 1-0 away to Portsmouth and at the weekend, earned a 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday in the derby game, also at home.
Coventry had suffered a wobble, losing two away games 2-1 in a row, to Norwich City and then QPR, they were then held 0-0 at home by Oxford United. Since then though, they have beaten Middlesbrough 3-1 and at the weekend earned a 2-0 win away at West Brom.

Our Sheffield United vs Coventry City Prediction
Our prediction for the Sheffield United vs. Coventry City Championship match is: Over 2.5 Goals.
Both these teams have similar recent form over the last couple of months, a sign of how much the Blades have improved under Chris Wilder. Coventry have found form after two damaging defeats but this is a big test for the Sky Blues. Predicting a result from the data is tough but backing there to be goals in the game looks a much safer and better value bet, hence we are going for over 2.5 goals here.
