The Blades have a commanding lead heading into Bramall Lane, and with Bristol City’s away record, they are unlikely to overcome the three-goal deficit, and the Robins’ playoff hopes will ultimately end.
Sheffield United are unbeaten in their previous three matches, and the Blades also hold an impressive record against Bristol City, with no losses in the last eight meetings between the two sides.
The home side had an excellent home record in the regular season, only losing four matches at Bramall Lane and averaging 2.13 points per game.
Bristol City were not in the greatest of form heading into the playoffs, with the away side having been winless in three before their damaging home loss to Sheffield United in the first leg. The Robins have not kept a clean sheet in 12 matches and have conceded first in their last six games.
The two league meetings between the two sides resulted in both teams scoring, and we believe that Bristol City will score, knowing the teams will be equal in terms of personnel at the start of the game. Robert Dickie was dismissed in the first leg.
That being said, Sheffield United should be booking their place at Wembley.
Sheffield United 2-1 Bristol City
