Sheffield United vs Preston Predictions & Live Stream - Blades to cut down struggling visitors
- Sheffield United aiming to close the gap on Leeds United.
- Hosts have won five of last six matches; good at home.
- Preston's form is declining; winless in five of last six games.
Sheffield United vs Preston
Sheffield United will be looking to keep up their pursuit of leaders Leeds United when they host Preston North End in an English Championship fixture.
The hosts are one of the best teams in the league and have a good record at home. They should have too much quality for the visitors, who are struggling to find their best form lately and are poor away from home.
Sheffield United Form
After a disappointing home defeat to Leeds United, Sheffield United made a swift return to winning ways with a 2-1 victory at QPR last time in the Championship. They raced to a two-goal lead and were able to hold on for the win despite conceding midway through the second half.
That was the fifth win in six Championship matches for Sheffield United, who remain three points off the pace in the table. Chris Wilder’s men have also done well at Bramall Lane lately, winning three of their last five Championship home matches.
One blemish for Sheffield United is their shaky defence having failed to keep clean sheets in their last five Championship matches. However, they often find a balance at the other end of the pitch and have scored in all five matches, while four of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.
Preston North End Form
Preston North End have been on a steady decline and are now in the bottom half of the table, six points off the top 10. Their recent form is concerning having gone winless in five of their last six Championship matches, playing out a 0-0 home draw with Swansea City in their previous fixture.
The Lillywhites have also struggled on their travels and are winless in five of their last seven Championship away matches, suffering four defeats in that run. Paul Heckingbottom's men were beaten 2-1 at Coventry City in their previous fixture on the road.
Preston show a bit more attacking quality on their travels and have scored in eight of their last nine away matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of the last seven in that run, with all five fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.
Head to Head
Sheffield United have the superior record in this fixture and are unbeaten in the last eight matches against Preston. United have won the last three meetings and claimed a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in August.
Verdict
Motivated by their automatic promotion push, Sheffield United have won five of the last six matches. Having also won the last three fixtures against Preston, who are struggling at the moment, a home win is expected here.
Sheffield United have scored and conceded in four of their last five matches, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals. Saturday’s clash is expected to offer up a similar outcome.
