Match preview

Two sides in the midst of altogether contrasting starts to the season are set to go head to head in a Championship clash at Bramall Lane on Saturday, October 1st.

It is the day’s hosts who will head into proceedings as the overwhelming favourites to emerge triumphant.

Sheffield United are currently sitting pretty atop the table in England’s 2nd tier, positioning themselves three points clear of 2nd-placed Norwich City in the race for promotion.

This comes owing to a record of seven wins and just a solitary defeat from their 10 league outings to date, with the fine stretch of form being enjoyed by Paul Heckingbottom’s troops highlighted ever further by an impressive +14 goal difference.

Another predicted three-point haul for the Blades on Saturday afternoon would make it five on the trot all told, whilst potentially adding to a run of four successive clean sheets, too.

Turning attentions towards the weekend’s visitors to Sheffield, Birmingham’s form has proven a major mixed bag over the early weeks of the 2022/23 term.

The Blues currently sit in a lowly 17th in the Championship table, after winning three, drawing three and losing four of their fixtures to date.

It is worth noting, though, that two of these three wins have come across recent weeks, with John Eustace and co. having not tasted defeat in the league since all the way back in August.

Despite such form, and Birmingham standout Scott Hogan finally finding his shooting boots, though, Sheffield United look near nailed on to ultimately emerge from Bramall Lane on Saturday with all three points.
