Sheffield United vs Coventry prediction 28.03.2025 | Championship

• Competition: Championship
• Date: Friday, 28th March 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Bramall Lane (Sheffield)

Sheffield United could return to the Premier League after only one season. Currently, they are even at the top of the Championship, with Leeds at 80 points, but Burnley are lurking, with only two points behind. Only two teams will get a direct promotion to the top English flight, and Sheffield United hopes not to miss that opportunity. Chris Wilder's team are in solid form with three wins in the last four matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 in the city derby against Sheffield Wednesday. The teams were pretty even, but Sheffield United's better efficiency was enough to secure victory. 

Coventry have a chance to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2001. They are currently in the promotion playoff. Coventry are in the best form in the crucial part of the season, having won six of the last seven matches. In the previous game, Coventry won 3-0 at home against Sunderland. The home side dominated as they finished the match with an xG of 2.84, while the guests had only 0.49. Such a performance will surely give Coventry a lot of confidence ahead of the game at Bramall Lane. 

Sheffield United vs Coventry pick: Both teams to score - yes

Both teams are scoring regularly. Sheffield United scored the last nine matches in a row. On the other hand, Coventry scored in seven of the previous eight games. We should see goals on both sides on Friday night in Sheffield.
