Sheffield United vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction and Betting Tips | December 29, 2024 

Sheffield United host West Bromwich Albion at Bramall Lane on Sunday in the Championship. The hosts will look to return to winning ways and resume their push for automatic promotion.

Sheffield suffered their third defeat of the season in a 2-0 home loss to Burnley last weekend, which ended their 11-game unbeaten streak of nine wins, which began in October.

Chris Wilder’s men are second in the standings, behind leaders Leeds United on goal difference. A win could see them lead the division into the new year.

West Brom, meanwhile, go into the weekend following a 2-1 defeat to Derby on Thursday. While it marked their fourth league loss of the season, it continued their underwhelming run of three wins in 17 games, losing four.

The eighth-placed visitors saw head coach Carlos Corberan exit on Christmas Eve to join Valencia.
