Sheffield Utd vs Bristol City Prediction & Tips
Just a few days ago, on 8 May, the first clash between these teams in the Championship playoffs took place. In that match, Sheffield United ran out 3-0 winners over Bristol City. The home side opened the scoring in the final minutes of the first half and, in the second half, took advantage of their numerical superiority to widen the gap and seal the tie. They have an extremely comfortable lead going into the second leg.
Sheffield Wednesday had a great regular season in the Championship. The team finished third with 90 points, just ten points behind the leaders. United are considered the favourites to reach the final and gain promotion to the Premier League. The first playoff match only reinforced that status.
Bristol City jumped on the final bandwagon. In 44 games they had 68 points to finish in sixth place, which meant they were drawn against Sheffield United, opponents who finished much higher up the table. After a 3-0 defeat, Bristol’s chances have been reduced to a minimum. The team needs a real miracle.
