Competition: Championship
Market: Sheffield United win
Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet
Looking to extend on their recent purple patch, a resurgent Sheffield United will welcome Norwich to Bramall Lane on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, although Sheffield United might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of what was a record-breaking rut, Chris Wilder’s men have certainly come roaring back in a remarkable fashion since returning from November’s international break. Last seen over the weekend putting in what was a season-best performance as they cruised their way to an empathic 4-0 victory at home against Stoke, the Blades will be dreaming of a repeat display here. Enjoying what has quickly become a real purple patch, United have come skyrocketing up the Championship standings and they will certainly be smelling another golden opportunity on Tuesday night. Signing off November with a stellar 3-2 win away at Leicester, the former Middlesbrough boss has seen his resurgent squad win all of their previous four consecutive Championship appearances. Marking their return from November’s fortnight interval with a 3-0 romp away at arch-rivals Sheffield Wednesday, the Blades have also found a major clinical edge in the final third. In fact, United have won those four straight Championship showdowns by an aggregate score of 13-2.
As for the visitors, while Philippe Clement might have only arrived at Carrow Road less than a month ago, the former Rangers boss will be more than aware that he has an almighty job on his hands in Norfolk. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny this season, Norwich are still firmly sat in the relegation zone and face a real uphill battle in the race to keep hold of their second-tier status. Suffering major frustration over the weekend as they threw away the lead twice and fell to a 3-2 defeat away at Watford, the Canaries will be bracing themselves for what is another monumental challenge here. Marking their return from November’s international break with a woeful 4-1 drumming against Birmingham, Norwich have remarkably registered just a single win from any of their previous 15 consecutive Championship appearances – a rut that stems all the way back to the end of August. Likewise, along with losing five of their last six showdowns outside of Norfolk, Clement’s side have shipped seven goals in their previous two matchups away from Carrow Road.
