Championship Betting

Sheffield United v Birmingham Betting Tips – Championship, 19th September 7.45pm

Sheffield United will be looking to snap back immediately after having had their great winning streak ended by a defeat last weekend. They get a home fixture in midweek against a Birmingham side who are still searching for their first win of the season. The Blues may be in for a tough time at Bramall Lane. Read our predictions for Sheffield United v Birmingham.

Sheffield United News and Form

There was a four-match winning streak that Sheffield United were running on in the Championship before they were stopped in their tracks in a 1-0 defeat against Bristol City last weekend. It was surprising that they didn’t score as they had netted at least two goals in each of their four previous games. At Bramall Lane they have won their last two games, netting six goals in the process. They are going up against a side who are resilient, but at the same time still struggling and a Sheffield United 1-0 correct score option is at 11/2 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 17th, 2018 at 11:22 pm).

While there have been over 2.5 goals scored in each of Sheffield United’s three games this season, this appears to be a good time to oppose that. For our Sheffield United v Birmingham predictions we are going under 2.5 goals is at 3/4 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 17th, 2018 at 11:22 pm). Billy Sharp is their top scorer this season with three goals to his name and two of them have been on home soil. They have been level at half time in two of the three home fixtures this season, so a Draw/Sheffield United half-time/ full-time bet could well appeal.

Birmingham News and Form

Birmingham are still on the hunt for that first win of the season. They have shown some fight in drawing each of their last three games, the most recent of which was a 1-1 draw against West Brom. Birmingham’s form away from St Andrews reads D1 L2 for the season though and they have failed to score in two of those three games. They don’t pose a big threat clearly but that overall D5 L2 record this season does at least indicate that they have a touch of resilience about them. Still, as they have lacked the power to take anyone down yet, both teams not to score is at 5/6 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 17th, 2018 at 11:22 pm) as we don’t see the Blues getting on the board.

Sheffield United v Birmingham Head to Head

Last season from the Championship meetings it was Birmingham on top as they collected four points from the games. There have only been the four previous Championship clashes between the two sides and from those, it is Birmingham who hold a narrow advantages with a W2 D1 L1 record against the Blades.
