Sheffield United hosts Bristol City in the English FA Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 10th at Bramall Lane (Sheffield)
After the cool last season, Sheffield United could only claim to update anti-records this year. But it seems that even if Chris Wilder's team is relegated (which will be frankly difficult to avoid), it will force everyone to remember about it. In January, the Blades recalled that they have a temper and “re-grew their teeth.” And they managed to beat not only Newcastle and West Bromwich but also Manchester United (albeit not without questions about refereeing). Beyond that, Sheffield United continues to perform in the cup. It was able to beat another club from Bristol, Rovers (3-2 away), and then eliminated Plymouth (2-1 at home).

In 2020, Bristol City decided to appoint Dean Holden, who had been in the structure of the club for a long time. And he improved the team's game, turning it from a middle peasant (12th place in the last draw) into a contender for the finish in the playoff zone. But in the middle of winter, the Robins suddenly slowed down. Having won five of seven matches, they have already lost three last games in a row. First, there were away defeats to Derby County (1:0) and Brentford (3:2). And on February 6, Cardiff scored twice by the 25th minute and brought the match to a confident victory. As a result, Bristol City is already six points behind 6th place. A couple more misfires, and the dream of competing for the third ticket to the Premier League can be completely forgotten. But the team probably doesn’t want to capitulate in the cup either. The Robins managed to go through two rounds, but the opponents were quite feasible. They beat Portsmouth at home (2:1) and hammered Millwall away (0:3).
In the last four head-to-head meetings, Sheffield United won only once, and Bristol City did it three times. Moreover, the Robins won both games of the 2018/2019 season in the Championship. However, that did not prevent the Blades from being promoted. But in recent games, Sheffield United revived noticeably, and Bristol City began to decline. We recommend betting that the Blades will gain victory in the upcoming match.
