Can the Blades Extend Unbeaten Run Over Robins?

Winning promotion back to the Premier League is the priority once again for Sheffield United. The Blades were one game away last term, but they let a lead slip to lose 2-1 to Sunderland in the 2025 play-off final.

With Chris Wilder departing, Ruben Selles is the new man in charge at Bramall Lane. The Spaniard was Hull City boss last term, guiding the Tigers to safety. Selles’ United are one of the title favourites, priced at 9.00 to win the 2025-26 Championship.

Bristol City punched above their weight to secure a play-off spot last season. They finished in sixth place, collecting 68 points from 46 games. Unfortunately for the Robins, they were second-best against Sheffield United in the play-offs, losing 6-0 on aggregate.

Gerhard Struber has replaced Liam Manning, who moved to Norwich City. The Austrian has managed the likes of New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Salzburg, but this is his first job in England since leaving Barnsley five years ago. Can Struber make the right impact at Ashton Gate?
