Swansea are out to maintain their winning momentum when they welcome Sheffield United to the Swansea.com Stadium on matchday two of the EFL Championship. Meetings between these two sides have been goal-filled, with their last league clash producing six goals, strengthening our prediction for over 2.5 goals.
Swansea have momentum on their side after beginning the 2026-27 EFL Championship season on a positive note, which has left them sitting in eighth place as one of the three teams to register their first three points.
Vítor Matos' men were forced to chase the game after Eric Bocat's early opener for Stoke City, but they turned the tide through Joseph Opoku's equaliser before Adam Idah struck the winning blow in the second half to complete a 2-1 comeback victory.
It was the first time in six years that the Swans had won their opening league game of a season.
In contrast, Sheffield United salvaged a point in their opening match against Birmingham after a goalless draw in front of their home crowd. Due to this result, they occupy 16th place in the league standings.
The Blades enter this clash aiming to avoid going three league games in a row without a win against Swansea.
Should they come up short again, it would be the first time they have failed to beat Swansea in three straight league meetings across successive seasons since the mid-1950s.
