Swansea and Sheffield United will look to get their first points of the 2025-26 Championship campaign as the sides meet on matchday two on Saturday. This match at Swansea.com Stadium between the Swans and the visiting Blades comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
The first match of the campaign was a bitter experience for both teams, as Swansea lost 1-0 away at Middlesbrough and United lost 4-1 at home to Bristol City.
Swansea bounced back from the defeat on matchday one with a 3-1 win over 10-man Crawley in the midweek EFL Cup. That gave them passage to the second round, but more importantly, it ended a run of four consecutive defeats, including friendlies.
Home form will be crucial to Swansea’s fortunes, as they ended last campaign with three wins and a draw at this venue in the league.
United lost 2-1 away at Birmingham in the midweek cup game, extending their struggles. They have now lost three matches in a row, including a friendly defeat to Nice.
The 4-1 defeat at home to Bristol City was more damning, as the Blades were swept aside by two goals within the first 26 minutes. To make things worse, they conceded two goals in quick succession in the second half, handing them a heavy defeat.

Sheffield United had no such luck, as they fell to a defeat in the EFL Cup at Birmingham for their third reverse in a row.
Both teams are struggling at the back currently, and that’s why our Swansea vs Sheffield United prediction is both teams to score.
