Blades to bounce back to winning ways
Bristol City have not exactly had a good Championship campaign; they have 13 wins in 42 games, and are 18th on the table. It's fair to point out that Bristol City are 17 points clear off the relegation zone, and there are just four games left; they are also 17 points from the promotion playoff places, which means they can neither get promoted nor relegated. However, Sheffield United are just hanging on to the last available promotion playoff spot; they will most likely lose that spot if they don't win this match. Sheffield United needs the win more than Bristol City; and considering Sheffield United won the last two encounters between these teams, we believe they'll win today.
Don't bank on a goalfest
Clashes between Bristol City and Sheffield United have not produced a lot of goals; three of their last four meetings saw less than three goals scored. It's worth noting that Sheffield United kept four clean sheets in their last six games; conversely, they failed to score in three of those six games. As a result, Sheffield United's games have mostly been low-scoring games; as five of their last six games went under the 2.5 goal line. Like Sheffield United, Bristol City have seen their fair share of low-scoring games; as four of their last six games went under 2.5. With this in mind, we don't think there will be a lot of goals in this match.
