Football – England – Championship Betting Tips

Sheffield United will be looking to post back-to-back wins in the Championship when they play host to Reading at Bramall Lane, and a win this afternoon could lift them to the top of the table depending on other results.

United bounced back from defeat at Nottingham Forest with a 1-0 home win over Ipswich Town last weekend, and they hold home advantage once again here today, where they possess a strong record of  5-0-1  8/2.

Blades manager, Chris Wilder, will be pleased with his side’s four clean sheets on home turf so far, and the hosts have suffered just one defeat from their last eight matches at home. Forwards Sharp and Clarke (4 goals apiece) are dangers up front for the hosts.

Visitors Reading ended a dismal run of five league matches without a win last Saturday when they registered a surprising 1-0 win away at Leeds United, but they face a tough trip up north at Sheffield United today.

Stam’s side just can’t seem to be able to reach the heights (and consistency) of last season’s campaign, but The Royals will be hoping that last week’s win kick-starts their season now. However, an away record of  2-1-3  5/6 suggests they could be in for a tough afternoon at Bramall Lane today.

Throw in just two wins from their last eight away matches, and you can see why Reading are priced as underdogs here, despite wins at Birmingham City and Leeds United.

Sheffield United have been impressive at home so far this season, and I’ll back them to continue today.
