Our Prediction for Burnley vs Sheffield United
The clubs have been side by side for the past few seasons. They were the two best teams in the Championship in the 2022/2023 season. However, after returning to the Premier League, they were unable to compete at the highest level, and along with another newcomer, Luton, were immediately relegated again.
At Turf Moor, Scott Parker took over from Kompany, who departed for Bayern. Overall, although Parker's playing style hasn’t impressed, he has managed to achieve stable results. There was a 0-0 draw with Derby, but then they defeated Norwich and Watford. In Sheffield, Wilder returned to the head coach position midway through last season. He was unable to keep his old-new charges in the Premier League. However, he continues to fiercely fight for the top spot in the Championship, though slips have prevented them from securing first place. In April, they lost to Oxford United and Millwall as well as Plymouth, but at least managed a 2-0 win over Cardiff.
Mejbri and company are pragmatic. They average 1.36 goals per game, but concede just 0.31 per match. The visitors from Sheffield also play a rather dull style, but with more goals: their average is 1.37 scored and 0.77 conceded per match.
