Stoke City v Sheffield United: prediction and result

Stoke City hosted Sheffield United in the Championship on Monday 29 December, and Sheffield United won 1–2 away from home.

Stoke City are in mixed form: 1 won, 1 drawn and 3 lost from their last 5, 4 points from a possible 15. They have scored 2 and conceded 7 in that run. Their last game was a 0–0 draw at home to Preston North End.

Sheffield United are in decent form: 2 won, 1 drawn and 2 lost from their last 5, 7 points from a possible 15. They have scored 11 and conceded 8 in that run. Their last game was a 3–5 defeat away at Wrexham.

The best prices across 3 UK bookmakers are 2.75 for Stoke, 3.40 for the draw and 2.60 for Sheffield. The bookmakers see little between Sheffield United and Stoke City here.

Our prediction: Stoke City to win, with a 37% chance. The market puts it at 35% and our match model at 41%, and blending those with recent form gives 37%. The best price, 2.75 at WilliamHill, is longer than our fair price of 2.68, so there is value in it. The pick lost.
