There's important Championship action at Bramall Lane this weekend as Sheffield United host Ipswich Town in a game that affects the bottom and top of the table. The Blades recent revival under Chris Wilder has floundered slightly of late while Kieran McKenna's Tractor Boys have hit form at the right time to rocket back into promotion contention. Here's our prediction for the match.
The current league table reveals the gap between the two teams. Sheffield United lie 17th, a big improvement from when Chris Wilder took over, with 32 points from 27 games played so far. Ipswich's excellent recent form sees The Blues in third spot in the table with 50 points from 27 games.
After beating Leicester 3-1 at home on New Year's Day, United have struggled since. They were beaten 4-3 at home by Mansfield in the FA Cup Third Round and then lost two away games by a 1-0 scoreline, firstly at Charlton and then in midweek they went down to a 1-0 defeat at Southampton.
Ipswich come into this game in superb form winning all their last five games. On New Year's Day, they beat Oxford 2-1 at home before earning a 2-1 win over Blackpool in the FA Cup. Their next two league games were also at home resulting in a 3-0 win over Blackburn Rovers last weekend and a 2-0 win over Bristol City in midweek.

Our Sheffield United vs Ipswich Town Prediction
Our prediction for the Sheffield United vs. Ipswich Town Championship match is: Ipswich wins.
Sheffield United come into this game in poor form, with three straight defeats. In contrast, Ipswich's recent form is outstanding and has seen them race up the table into genuine promotion contention. Admittedly, the Tractor Boys away form isn't that impressive, but Sheffield United's home form is not that spectacular either and as such, the prudent option here is to back an away win for the visitors.
