Sheffield United vs Coventry City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The last confrontation between the two sides ended in a draw.

Sheffield United are ready to host Coventry City in match week 39 of the English League Championship 2024-25 season. As there are only a few matches left, the Blades will be looking to take over that top spot in the league table if they want to win the competition. The Sky Blues are in fifth place, and it is not at all possible for them to win the title this season.

Sheffield United will be at home and have shown some great performances this season. The Blades are currently in the second place despite winning more matches than the table toppers, Leeds United. Sheffield are behind because of the goal difference, and they have lost two more matches than the Peacocks. They still have a very clear chance to go on and win the title here.

Coventry City are way behind and will not be able to make it to the top two even. The Sky Blues have won 17 games in 38 EFL Championship matches. They have been able to secure 59 points on the board, which is not enough in the current standings. The Sky Blues have shown some good performances in the last few games and will be looking to do the same here.
