Sheffield United vs Derby Prediction & Betting Tips

Sheffield United vs Derby Preview

Sheffield United failed to build on their impressive performance against Blackburn Rovers as they lost 3-2 to Preston North End last weekend. The hosts raced into a 2-0 lead within the first sixteen minutes of the game, thanks to goals from Andre Brooks and Callum O’Hare, with Tyrese Campbell assisting both. However, they couldn’t maintain their composure and eventually surrendered the lead before the 60th minute.

Sheffield United have played five home matches this season, winning one and losing the other four. Having triumphed in their most recent home outing, they will look to build on that and return to winning ways here. They currently occupy the final relegation spot on the table, with nine points from as many games this season.

Derby County secured back-to-back competitive victories for the first time since April last weekend when they defeated Queens Park Rangers 1-0 at Pride Park Stadium. A Carlton Morris strike in the 10th minute was enough to put Derby ahead, and their defence stood firm to protect the lead. The result also ensured that Derby recorded successive clean sheets for the first time since May.

Away from home, the Rams’ form has been mixed, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six matches. This run, along with other factors, has placed Derby County 17th on the table with 14 points from twelve matches.

Sheffield United vs Derby Prediction

We back Sheffield United to win because they have been impressive in this fixture, recording seven wins, one draw, and two defeats in their last ten meetings against Derby. They are also on a three-game winning streak at home against the visitors, and we back them to extend it to four.

Both teams are expected to get on the scoresheet, as neither side has managed to score consistently in recent head-to-head meetings, with both teams failing to find the net in four of their last five clashes, as well as in each of Derby County’s last three matches.

Under 2.5 goals is also anticipated, as the last five meetings between the two teams have averaged just 1.6 goals per game, while Derby’s last six matches have averaged 1.5 goals per match.
