Can the Promotion Rivals Be Separated?

Sheffield United have had a fine first season back in the second tier following Premier League relegation. The Blades are two points behind Leeds in second, taking 70 points from 33 games – they were also deducted two points for defaulted transfer payments.

Leeds are many people’s favourites to win the title this term. The Whites will be desperate to go up automatically this year after losing in the Championship play-off final last May.

Chris Wilder’s boys go into this top-of-the-table tussle in fine fettle. Since a shock 3-0 home reverse to Hull City in late January, Sheffield United have hit back with successive wins over Derby County, Portsmouth, Middlesbrough, and Luton Town.

Daniel Farke’s men are unbeaten in 15 Championship games, winning 11 and drawing four. Leeds have dropped just two points from the last 21 on offer, coming from behind to beat promotion rivals Sunderland last time out.

Leeds won the reverse fixture at Elland Road. After a tight and tense first period, the game burst into life when Pascal Struijk netted the opener 20 minutes from time. Mateo Joesph added a second at the death.

The previous meetings came in the 2020-21 Premier League season. Leeds did the double over Sheffield United winning 1-0 at Bramall Lane and 2-1 at Elland Road.

Sheffield United vs Leeds United Betting Tips & Predictions

Only Leeds have a better home record than Sheffield United, with the Blades winning 12 of 16 in front of their home fans. However, the visitors have the third-best away record in England’s second tier, taking 28 points on the road.

The promotion rivals are hard to split on paper, so we are backing the draw. The draw and both teams to score is nicely priced at 4.75. Also, the draw and under 2.5 goals stands out at 4.40.
