Burnley vs Sheffield United prediction 21.04.2025 | Championship

• Competition: Championship 
• Date: Monday, 21st April 2025
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CEST
• Venue: Turf Moor (Burnley)

The Championship is renowned as one of the most challenging leagues in the world. With only three rounds left, we are close to knowing two teams that will play in the Premier League next season. Leeds and Burnley share the top spots and will likely secure direct promotion, while Sheffield United, five points behind, will likely seek their Premier League ticket through the playoffs. 

After an absence from the top flight for only one season, Burnley have a good chance to celebrate their return to the Premier League with a win on Monday. The team from Turf Moor is in good form, having won five of their last six matches. In the previous game, they won 2-1 on the road against Watford. The guests weren't at their best, but things were much easier after two of the home team's players got red cards in the second half. 

Sheffield United were in the race for the top two spots on the table most of the season, but they lost three of the last four matches, so Chris Wilder's team will have to beat Burnley on Monday to have any chances for direct promotion. In the previous round, Sheffield United ended their negative run with a 2-0 home win against Cardiff. That performance was far from perfect as they secured victory late in the second half, but three points will surely help Wilder's team regain some confidence. 

Burnley vs Sheffield United pick: Burnley to win

Burnley and Sheffield United had one h2h match this season and Scott Parker's team won it 2-0 away from home. With Monday being one of the most important dates in the year for Burnley, we can't imagine a different outcome than winning once against the same opponent.
