Our prediction for this Championship match:
Bristol City will be aiming to build on a 3-1 win over Preston when they face Sheffield United in the Championship round 14. The Robins did well to beat the Lilywhites in their last league match, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to make it to the playoffs. However, home win should not be considered as both George Tanner and Joe Williams limped off with injuries in the last league match.
The Blades, on the other hand, aim to build on a splendid 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers. As Sheffield United have been impressive at the back, a low-scoring affair is on the cards and we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the last five meetings between the two sides in all competitions. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but Tyrese Campbell could sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the Ewood Park triumph.
Highlighted Player (Nahki Wells):
Born on June 1, 1990 in Hamilton, Bermuda, Nahki Wells is a 170-cm-tall attacker who plays for the Bermuda national team. Wells is a product of Dandy Town Hornets youth academy and he continued playing for the Bermudan side at senior level.
The experienced striker played for the likes of Bermuda Hogges, Eccleshill United and Carlisle United before joining Bradford City in 2011.

Highlighted Team (Sheffield United):
Sheffield United are a professional football club that compete in the Championship. The Blades finished the 2016/2017 League One campaign in top position in the standings, with the team collecting exactly 100 points in the process. Sheffield United last competed in the Premier League in the 2006/2007 season and they were more than unfortunate not to secure the top flight survival.
The Blades finished the season in 18th place in the process and it has to be noted that they were level on points with Wigan Athletic, who managed to avoid the relegation to the English second tier. Sheffield United welcome their rivals at Bramal Lane, the stadium which was opened on April 30, 1855. The current capacity of the venue is 32.702.
The club have numerous rivalries, but the most notable one is the rivalry with their city neighbors Sheffield Wednesday. The two teams face each other in the Steel City derby and it has to be noted that United share rivalry with the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham United, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United as well.
