West Brom (Home)
- The Blues, under Ryan Mason’s leadership since July 2025, play a high-tempo, possession-based game with quick verticality and have a good trigger for their press.
- West Brom are unbeaten in three at home, having won two and drawn one of their recent home league games, which is worth noting when thinking about West Bromwich vs Sheffield United betting tips.
- Aune Selland Heggeboe is the danger man for the hosts, but he has seven league goals and has scored six of West Brom's last eight goals.
- West Brom have a 1.22 goals-per-game average for and 0.89 against at home in the Championship, which looks good for a home crowd.
- The home side are 16th in the table, having accumulated 25 points from 19 games, while the visitors are 18th with 22 points.
Sheffield United (Away)
- Sheffield United have won their last four consecutive games in the Championship, including a 4-0 home win over Stoke City and a 3-2 win at Leicester City.
- Chris Wilder has performed his usual trick of making a well-organised three-man backline work, getting Sheffield United to press as a unit and creating a good platform with his 3-5-2 system; this bodes well for evaluating our West Bromwich vs Sheffield United prediction.
- Although the visitors have lost six and won four of their ten Championship away games this season, the last two have been wins and they arrive at The Hawthorns in high spirits.
- Callum O’Hare has been a spark for the visitor in recent games, supplying four assists in his last five games as the Blades have scored 13 goals.
