Sheffield United and Bolton Wanderers both head into this Championship encounter looking to respond positively after disappointing results last time out. The Blades remain undefeated in the new campaign, following a 2-2 draw with Cardiff City, and have lost only two of their last 10 matches in all competitions. Their away form has been particularly impressive, although their home record is less convincing, with no wins in their last three at Bramall Lane. Chong and One remain sidelined, while former Manchester City midfielder Phillips and Jamie Shackleton are pushing for starts.
Bolton, meanwhile, suffered a 1-0 defeat to Lincoln despite producing the better attacking numbers, registering 21 goal attempts and 1.89 xG. The Trotters have nevertheless conceded only 0.80 goals per game across their last 10 matches and have kept clean sheets in four of those fixtures. Their away attacking output remains a concern, however, with just 0.50 goals per game in their last four on the road. Ruben Rodrigues remains in the treatment room, but there are no fresh injury worries.
As Bolton lack cutting edge, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Bolton's defensive numbers point towards a relatively tight contest).
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 1 September 2026 at 19:45.
