Bristol City have gained impressive progress and have not lost for eight rounds. However, five of them ended in draws. The club has moved up the table and is now only two points behind sixth place.
Sheffield United won the last two matches against Blackburn and Stoke City. The Blades are determined to return to the Premier League at the first attempt and win the championship. So far the gap from the first place is equal to four points.
It is unlikely that there will be many goals in this match. Only in one league match Sheffield United out of thirteen had more than two goals. Bristol City have had less than three goals in five matches in the last seven rounds. Less than three goals have also been scored in the five previous face-to-face matches between these teams.
