Sheffield United 3/5 to beat Rotherham in Saturday’s Championship showdown

Posted September 9th, 2022 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Championship

Market: Sheffield United win

Odds: 3/5 @ 888sport

Hoping to extend their stay at the top of the Championship table, Sheffield United will host Rotherham on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a stellar run of form, Sheffield United have their sights set on clinching a Premier League return. In their opening eight Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, two draws and just one defeat, scoring 16 and conceding five in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 17 and holding the best-defensive tally in the division, they also open this weekend’s fixtures holding a one-point buffer at the top of the table. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a deserved 2-0 victory away at Hull City, Sheffield United are unbeaten in each of their last six outings across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted, Saturday’s hosts have also conceded just a single strike from any of their last four contests.

As for the visitors, while Rotherham might have been last seen picking up a shock point, they are in the midst of an inconsistent patch. In their opening seven Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded two wins, four draws and one defeat, scoring nine and conceding six in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 10 from a possible 21, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 13th in the standings and a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half. However, as for their recent run of results, despite being last seen playing out a 1-1 draw at home against Watford, Rotherham have managed to pick up a single win from their last six attempts. Knowing that they face a tough test against the Championship leaders, we’re backing a home victory here.
