Match Analysis: Sheffield United vs Queens Park Rangers – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-11-08
• Time: 3:00 PM UTC
• Location: Bramall Lane

Game Overview

Sheffield United host Queens Park Rangers in a Championship clash with both teams struggling for form. Sheffield United are at home but have lost three straight, while QPR have won five in a row but are missing key players. The head-to-head is tilted toward Sheffield United historically, but recent form and injuries create a volatile matchup.

Key Factors to Consider

• Sheffield United have lost their last three matches, scoring 1.6 goals per game but conceding 1.0. QPR have won five straight, scoring 1.6 per game but conceding 1.2. Both teams are scoring but also vulnerable defensively.
• Sheffield United lead the all-time H2H with 12 wins, 7 draws, and 7 losses. In the last six meetings, Sheffield United have a 50% win rate. Recent H2H shows a slight edge to Sheffield United, but QPR have been improving.
• Sheffield United are missing Ben Godfrey, Gustavo Hamer, Michael Cooper, Ollie Arblaster, and Tahith Chong. QPR are missing Rhys Norrington-Davies (suspension), Joe Walsh, Kwame Poku, and Ziyad Larkeche. Both teams are significantly weakened, but Sheffield United's midfield is especially depleted.
• Sheffield United are at home, which typically provides a boost, but their recent form and injuries undermine this advantage. QPR are on a winning streak but face a tough away fixture with a depleted squad.
• Both teams are mid-table with little immediate pressure, but QPR's winning streak gives them momentum and confidence. Sheffield United need a win to stop their slide and avoid further relegation concerns.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Queens Park Rangers will win outright. Despite Sheffield United's historical edge and home advantage, QPR's superior recent form, momentum, and Sheffield United's injury crisis make the away team the higher EV play. Sheffield United's midfield is decimated, and QPR have shown resilience and scoring ability in their recent wins.

Predicted Score: 1-2

Match Analysis: Preston North End vs Sheffield United – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-10-24
• Time: 7:00 PM UTC
• Location: Deepdale Stadium, Preston

Game Overview

Preston North End (8th) hosts Sheffield United (23rd) in a mid-table vs relegation battle, with strong recent home form for Preston and Sheffield United finally showing signs of improvement after a dismal start. This is a classic Championship clash: tight, physical, and potentially low-scoring, with both teams needing points for different reasons.

Key Factors to Consider

• Preston North End have shown resilience at home, capitalizing on home advantage, while Sheffield United have struggled all season, only recently picking up form. Preston's home record makes them slight favorites, but Sheffield's uptick in results adds uncertainty.
• Sheffield United dominated the recent H2H, winning 1-0 last March, after previous 4-1 and 2-0 victories. In the last 22 meetings, Sheffield United lead 11-7, indicating a psychological edge[5].
• No major injuries reported for either side based on available lineup news[1]. Both teams appear to have near-full squads available.
• Friday night under the lights at Deepdale, typically a raucous atmosphere. No significant weather disruptions expected. Preston's home crowd could be a factor.
• Preston aiming to cement a playoff push; Sheffield United fighting to climb out of relegation trouble. Both teams will be highly motivated, but Preston's home form and league position suggest slightly higher urgency and confidence.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Expect a cagey, tightly contested match with few clear chances. Preston's home form and table position give them a slim edge, but Sheffield United's recent improvement and H2H dominance suggest they could snatch a result. Most likely outcome is a narrow home win or a low-scoring draw.

Predicted Score: 1-0 Preston North End

• Match played at Sheffield’s Bramall Lane which despite recent poor home form, historically benefits Sheffield United. No significant external disruptions noted.
• Sheffield United's mid-table position and recent losses may put pressure on them to regain form at home; Watford’s motivation is tempered by a weaker recent form but they aim to deny Sheffield points away.

Match Details

• Date: 2025-10-04
• Time: 11:30 AM UTC
• Location: The MKM Stadium

Game Overview

Championship clash between two sides desperate for points; Hull sitting 16th (9 points from 8 games), Sheffield United bottom (3 points from 8 games) and in deep trouble.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Predicted Score: 1-0

Match Analysis: Oxford United vs Sheffield United – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-09-27
• Time: 2:00 PM UTC
• Location: Kassam Stadium, Oxford, England

Game Overview

Oxford United hosts Sheffield United in this EFL Championship fixture, with both teams struggling recently—Oxford ranked 20th and Sheffield 24th. Sheffield United historically dominates head-to-head but has poor recent form, while Oxford shows stronger recent results at home.

Key Factors to Consider

• Home advantage at Kassam Stadium benefits Oxford, who are motivated by poor league standing and fighting relegation. Sheffield’s away form and morale are low after multiple defeats.

Match Analysis: Sheffield United vs Charlton Athletic – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-09-20
• Time: 2:00 PM UTC
• Location: Bramall Lane

Game Overview

Sheffield United host Charlton Athletic in a crucial Championship match at Bramall Lane. Sheffield United currently sit 24th with poor form including five consecutive losses, but recent history and home advantage provide some hope. Charlton Athletic sit 18th, showing slightly better recent form with some draws and a win, making them a dangerous opponent.

Key Factors to Consider

• Sheffield United has won 7 of their last 12 matches historically but currently are in a poor streak losing five straight. Charlton has 3 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in the same recent period, indicating inconsistency but some resilience.
• Across 68 meetings, Charlton lead with 29 wins to Sheffield United’s 21, with 18 draws. However, these teams have not met in the Championship for over 15 years.
• No specific injury reports available, but Sheffield United will rely on defensive stand-ins Japhet Tanganga and Ben Godfrey to shore up their backline. Charlton’s fitness status appears stable.
• Bramall Lane will have a sellout crowd of over 32,000, creating an intimidating atmosphere for Charlton. The afternoon kickoff on September 20 offers favorable weather conditions.
• Both teams need points early in the season to improve standings. Sheffield United may get a morale boost with Chris Wilder’s return as manager, while Charlton will aim to exploit the home side’s recent defensive frailties.
