by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions
Sheffield United moved to within a point of safety after winning Sunday's Steel City Derby. The Blades are 22nd in the Championship and hope to get another win against 19th-placed Portsmouth on Wednesday. Read our match prediction below.
United will be four points adrift if Oxford win at Norwich on Tuesday evening. Sunday's 3-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday should have boosted their confidence. Now they bid to win a second successive match and further boost their survival chances.
The Blades have only won one of their seven home league games, a victory over Watford.
Since then, they have lost at home to Derby and most recently drew 0-0 against QPR.
Portsmouth also had a welcome win at the weekend. Pompey beat Millwall 3-1 at home to end a run of just two points in six league games. They ended the weekend four points above the relegation zone.
This is such an important game for Portsmouth. Winning it will put seven points between them and the bottom three. A defeat though will narrow the gap to just a single point. The problem they have is their away league form.
Only six points have been earned from seven on the road and they have the worst away record in the Championship.
We tip a home win for Sheffield United.
