Our prediction for this Championship match:
Sheffield United
Match Time & Date:
29/12/2018
10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-0
Blackburn Rovers
Having defeated Derby County on Boxing Day, Sheffield United will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they host Blackburn Rovers at their Bramall Lane. The Blades aim to cement their spot in top six, but they are eyeing automatic promotion to the Premier League as well. Saturday’s football game is of big importance for the hosts and seeing that the Riversiders are low on confidence following an unlucky loss to Leeds United, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Blackburn were on the verge of beating the Whites at Elland Road on Boxing Day, but Marcelo Bielsa’s men eventually scored two late goals and won the match. You should bear in mind that Sheffield United recorded a 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers in their last meeting in the English second tier.
