Last season, Sheffield United played in the Premier League, but it seems that they will not stay in the Championship for too long. After 17 rounds in the 2024/25 season, Chris Wilder's team are first on the table with 35 points. Sheffield United is on a great run with five wins in the last six matches. In the previous game, they won 3-0 at home against Oxford United. The home side finished the match with an xG of 3.55, while the guests had only 0.32, so Sheffield United's victory was never in doubt.
A horrid year is behind Sunderland. After losing their Premier League status in 2017, they even spent a few years in League One. However, they are brilliant this season, so Sunderland fans hope their club can return to where they think it belongs. They are only two points behind the league leader, Sheffield United. Sunderland have not been defeated in the last ten matches, but the previous five games were five draws. Regis Le Bris' team played 0-0 at home against WBA on Tuesday. The home side was better, but they couldn't break the opponent's defense, so Sunderland picked only one point again.
Sheffield United vs Sunderland pick: Sheffield United to win
Sunderland have slightly slowed in its form in the last few weeks, while Sheffield United are crushing almost every opponent, so we should expect the home side to win on Friday night at Bramall Lane.
