Stoke City welcome Sheffield Utd to Bet365 Stadium for their Championship Round 8 fixture on Saturday. The Potters are unbeaten in their last four Championship matches, including back-to-back successes in their last two home outings, making us back them in our prediction.
Stoke City have turned around their misfortunes after a slow start to the league season. They capped their upbeat performances late with a shock 2–1 victory over Watford at Vicarage Road last week.
Notably, last week's result extended Stoke City's unbeaten run in the English second tier to four matches (W3, D1), marking a drastic turnaround from their three-match losing streak at the start of the campaign. That run includes back-to-back successes in their last two home fixtures.
Sheffield Utd enter this clash on a rough patch. They suffered a shock 1–0 defeat to League Two opponents Fleetwood in the EFL Cup third round on Wednesday, crashing out of the competition.
Wednesday's setback means the Blades have lost three of their last four matches across all competitions, including two defeats in their last three Championship matches.

Our Stoke vs Sheffield United Prediction
Sheffield Utd have lost momentum recently after their initial strong start to the campaign. A shock EFL Cup third-round exit to Fleetwood on Wednesday marked a new low in the Blades' dwindling fortunes, adding to our doubts about their chances of getting a result in Saturday's clash.
Meanwhile, Stoke City have been promising in recent weeks after a slow start. They have won their last two matches at Bet365 Stadium and are unbeaten in their last four fixtures overall. With Sheffield Utd struggling lately, our Stoke vs Sheffield Utd prediction is Stoke wins.
