Sheffield United
- Sheffield United are 18th, on 23 points from 21 games, having endured a challenging 2025-2026 campaign so far.
- Chris Wilder returned to the Blades’ dugout in September 2025 and has re-emphasised Sheffield United’s 3-5-2 shape and organised defending.
- They are unbeaten in their last 3 at Bramall Lane, including a 4-0 win over Stoke City.
Birmingham City

- Birmingham City have lost 2 and drawn 1 of their last 3 away games.
Head-to-Head
Both teams have won 1 of the two prior meetings in 2025-2026, but Birmingham City edged to a 2-1 EFL Cup win 4 months ago .
Key Players
Tyrese Campbell has been Sheffield United’s top scorer in the Championship, with 5 goals in 20 appearances this term and he looks like a great shout for an anytime goal in this one.
Betting Insights
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.91 is the value bet in the goal markets here as Birmingham will press Sheffield United, which could lead to a cagey game.
- The odds for this game seem to have it the wrong way around as Sheffield United are 2.28 favourites, Birmingham City are 2.99, and the draw is 3.4.
Prediction
Wilder’s side may just edge this one as they look to establish consistency and build momentum under his stewardship, but Birmingham City are no pushovers and have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 7 of 11 Championship away matches this season, conceding 17 goals.
