Sheffield United narrowly missed out on an automatic spot in the Premier League, but Chris Wilder's men now have the task of achieving their goal through the playoffs. The first obstacle is Bristol City away from home.
The hosts did not look convincing towards the end of the season
Bristol barely made it to the playoffs, as in their last match they almost lost to the not very ambitious Preston team at home. It seems to me that the class in Liam Manning's squad is simply not enough to compete for a place in the "Wembley" final. It is too early for this club, which otherwise made serious progress during the season and can build on it next year. Sheffield players, on the other hand, had about a month to clear their minds and overcome the fact that they did not reach automatic promotion. I would say that even Chris Wilder seemed like a realist throughout the season, knowing that it was more likely for the club to have to go through the playoffs.
Bet on X2
I also bet on a win for the "Blades", who I think can settle everything here.
