Bristol City vs Sheffield Utd

Bristol City are winless across their last seven games against Sheffield United in all competitions (D2 L5), since a 3-2 victory at Bramall Lane in the Championship in March 2019.

Sheffield United have won five of their last seven away league games against Bristol City (D1 L1), with each of their last three victories coming via a one-goal margin.

Bristol City are unbeaten across their last eight home league games (W6 D2), their longest run at Ashton Gate in a single season since a nine-match stint between January and April 2023. In the 2024-25 Championship season, only Leeds United (58), Burnley (51) and Sheffield United (49) accumulated more points on home soil than the Robins (46 – W13 D7 L3).

Sheffield United will be competing in the play-offs in the second tier for the sixth time, failing to earn promotion on each of the previous five occasions. In that time, they’ve won just one of their five away semi-final matches (D3 L1), though it did come in their last such match – a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in May 2022, before being eliminated on penalties.

Bristol City will be playing in their sixth EFL play-off campaign this season and their first since 2007-08 in the Championship. On that occasion, the Robins reached Wembley but lost 1-0 to Hull City; they’ve never earned promotion via the play-offs on any of the previous five occasions.
