Today's Predictions for Sheffield Utd vs Preston

Sheffield United can take another step towards automatic promotion when they host Preston in the Championship on Saturday. Read our top Sheffield Utd vs Preston predictions for this weekend’s fixture.

Sheffield United to Win

Sheffield United overcame a tricky challenge on Wednesday evening at home to West Brom and their 2-0 win over the Baggies pushed them one step closer to automatic promotion. On Saturday, the Blades have home advantage again when they welcome Preston to Bramall Lane, where another victory for the hosts looks possible. North End have lost three of their last four matches on the road and their propensity for coming unstuck on their travels could scupper their chances in the Steel City.

Under 2.5 Goals

Paul Heckingbottom’s robust Sheffield United have conceded just 36 goals in 43 Championship fixtures this season, but while their defensive work has been impressive, they routinely fail to inspire further forward, and as a result, many of their matches have been low-scoring. At Bramall Lane, five of their last six games have gone under 2.5 goals and our second Sheffield Utd vs Preston prediction anticipates another contest of slender margins there on Saturday.
