Sheffield United vs Leeds Prediction, Starting Lineups and Odds: 7/1 Bet Builder at Bramall Lane

Kickoff is just moments away as Championship title contenders Sheffield United and Leeds go head-to-head at Bramall Lane in a massive top-of-the-table clash, live on Sky Sports Main Event at 8pm.

Read on for our best bets for this huge game, including a 7/1 Bet Builder.

Few Championship clashes come bigger than this as the league’s top two go head-to-head at Bramall Lane. Leeds lead the standings with 72 points, but Sheffield United sit just two points behind in second, setting the scene for an engrossing encounter in Yorkshire.

Leeds are firm favourites to win the Championship title at 1/7 - with Sheffield United priced at 7/1 - and the Whites are also odds-on to claim all three points tonight as they look to extend their lead at the top to five points.

After all, Daniel Farke’s side are in formidable form, unbeaten in 15 matches since November, with 11 wins in that run - including their last four in a row.

However, Sheffield United are also riding a four-game winning streak and have the added motivation of knowing that a victory would see them leapfrog Leeds into top spot.

This one is tough to call with both teams in such strong form. A draw, available at 5/2 with Midnite, therefore looks a tempting option as neither team will want to end the game empty-handed.

Leeds have been incredibly hard to beat, with their last defeat coming nearly three months ago, but at 10/11, they may be a little short considering they’re up against the league’s second-placed side away from home.

Gustavo Hamer is expected to return to the Sheffield United starting lineup tonight after missing the win over Luton.

The midfielder has been instrumental in the Blades’ promotion push this season but has also been one of the league’s most carded players, racking up 10 yellow cards - the joint-most in the Championship. With 49 fouls committed, Hamer is no stranger to the physical battles, and in a game of this magnitude, he’s likely to be heavily involved once again.

I’ve paired Hamer to be carded with a goal for Joel Piroe to create a 7/1 Bet Builder with Midnite. The Leeds striker has been in red-hot form, netting 14 league goals along with six assists, making him the second-highest scorer in the race for the Championship Golden Boot behind Norwich’s Borja Sainz.

He’s also hit top gear recently, scoring four times in his last four games.
