Bristol City vs Sheffield United Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bristol City<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bristol City snatched a place in the playoffs in dramatic style at the weekend when they came from two goals down to rescue a point at home to Preston (2-2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Robins are now unbeaten in eight games at Ashton Park and only three visiting teams have left that venue with maximum points in the Championship since August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday\u2019s opponents, Sheffield United, were one of those victorious visitors (2-1 in Nov), however, the teams will kick Thursday\u2019s semi-final first leg on a more equal footing this time around, according to the prices on the UK best betting sites<\/a>, at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team news:<\/strong> Mark Sykes, Cameron Pring, Luke McNally and Harry Cornick are all sidelined for Bristol City through injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Lineup: <\/strong>O’Leary, Tanner, Dickie, Vyner, Hirakawa, Williams, Knight, McCrorie, Bird, Twine, Wells<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield United<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield United amassed an impressive 90 points during the regular Championship season, however, that wasn\u2019t enough to secure automatic promotion ahead of formidable centurions, Leeds and Burnley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, the Blades are favourites on EFL betting sites<\/a> to secure promotion to the Premier League through the playoffs and United do look like the best-equipped sides to push for glory at Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their away form has been troublesome of late however, and Sheff Utd\u2019s run of three defeats in four away assignments is a definite cause for concern for experienced boss Chris Wilder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team news:<\/strong> Sheffield United could be without Harrison Clarke, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Ollie Arblaster and Sai Sachdev on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Lineup:<\/strong> Davies, Gilchrist, Holding, Ahmedhodzic, McCallum, Souza, Peck, Brooks, O’Hare, Hamer, Cannon   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
