Bristol City Review
Bristol City secured their play-off spot on the final day of the regular season, finishing sixth in the Championship. While their recent form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five matches, they boast a strong home record, remaining unbeaten in their last eight games at Ashton Gate.
Manager Liam Manning will be looking to capitalize on this home advantage to gain an upper hand in the two-legged tie. However, the team will need to address defensive lapses that have seen them concede late goals in crucial matches.
Sheffield United Review
Sheffield United enter the play-offs after finishing third in the league, narrowly missing out on automatic promotion. Despite a two-point deduction earlier in the season, the Blades amassed a commendable points tally.
However, their form dipped towards the end of the campaign, losing four of their last seven matches. Historically, Sheffield United have struggled in play-offs, failing to secure promotion in nine previous attempts.
Head-to-Head
Sheffield United have had the upper hand in recent encounters between the two sides. In their last seven meetings, the Blades are unbeaten, securing five wins and two draws.
Notably, in their most recent clash on November 5, 2024, Sheffield United staged a dramatic comeback to win 2-1 at Ashton Gate, with goals from Ryan Oné and Harrison Burrows in the final minutes.
Nowgoal Prediction: Bristol City 1-1 Sheffield United
While Sheffield United have demonstrated superiority in recent head-to-head matchups, their end-of-season slump and historical play-off struggles could weigh on their performance. Conversely, Bristol City's strong home form suggests they could pose a significant challenge. A draw in the first leg would set up a tantalizing second leg at Bramall Lane, with both teams vying for a spot in the Championship play-off final.
