Sheffield United vs Stoke Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Joseph King | in Championship Prediction
Sheffield United continue their promotion hunt when they host Stoke City at Bramall Lane for matchday 27 of the English Championship. Sheffield have built up a nine point lead over third-place Blackburn as they now hold a firm grip over second-place and the final automatic promotion spot. They will still have the goal of chasing down leaders Burnley however, who they trail by five points. Standing in their way is a Stoke City side that will be hoping to avoid being dragged into a relegation scrap in the second half of the season. The Potters currently 16th in the standings on 30 points and hold a four point lead over the drop zone.

Sheffield United - Stoke: Form Analysis
Sheffield have been on a fantastic run of form as manager Paul Heckingbottom has his side playing some good football at the moment. The Blades are on a current run of seven matches unbeaten, six of which resulted in wins. Their last outing was a 2-0 away victory over fellow Championship side Millwall last weekend. Stoke City, on the other hand, are on a run of form which has seen them win only one league match over their last six outings, with the last two resulting in defeats. They were able to record a 3-0 victory on the weekend in the FA Cup but the weak competition in the form of League Two side Hartlepool will do little to boost the Potters' overall confidence.

Sheffield United & Stoke Squad Analysis
Paul Heckingbottom decided to rest a few key players in his team's matchup in the FA Cup against Millwall, making the victory even more impressive. We'll likely see a number of those players return for this match. Iliman Ndiaye is the danger man for the Blades and the one to keep an eye on. The 22-year-old Senegalese has imprinted his influence on this team, emerging as their key attacking threat on the offensive side of the ball. Ndiate has scored nine goals and provided a further seven assists through his 26 appearances so far this season for Sheffield. The only injury concern for Stoke City is the absence of Sam Clucas.

Our Sheffield United vs Stoke Prediction
It's difficult to envision anything other than a comfortable home victory with the way both teams are playing at the moment. Sheffield have looked near unbeatable since the World Cup break, outscoring their opponents by a combined 11-4 aggregate during that stretch. Stoke, meanwhile, have found wins hard to come by in the Championship as of late and two consecutive matches failing to find the net in front of the home support is certainly a worrying trend.
