Stoke and Sheffield United meet at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday lunchtime with both sides sitting in the Championship‘s congested midtable, separated by a single point.

Anthony Eadson’s Stoke vs Sheffield United predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson leans to the hosts in a tight one.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Stoke City draw no bet | 5/6 (BetMGM) | This has the makings of a tight, even contest, and Sheffield United’s record in the fixture is a genuine warning after five straight wins over Stoke. Backing the hosts with the safety net of the stake back should the game end level looks the sensible route. Stoke have won three of their last five, including a 4-0 of Charlton at the Britannia, and their home form gives them a real edge here. At 5/6 with BetMGM, Stoke on the draw no bet is the play. |
| Ethan Galbraith to score anytime | 11/2 (bet365) | Ethan Galbraith has been Stoke’s most reliable source of goals, netting three times from midfield to lead the club’s scoring charts. Sheffield United have looked leaky on their travels at times and Stoke create plenty from deep, with Galbraith arriving late in the box and striking cleanly. For the team’s top scorer to get on the scoresheet at a generous 11/2 with bet365 looks well worth a punt in a game the hosts should control for long spells at the Britannia. |

How Stoke City go into the game
Stoke have found form with three wins in their last five, including a 2-1 success at Watford and a thumping 4-0 of Charlton at home. Midfielder Ethan Galbraith leads the way with three goals from deep.
Solid at the Britannia and dangerous from midfield, Stoke will fancy their chances of edging a close contest.
How Sheffield United go into the game
Sheffield United have blown hot and cold, beating Blackburn and Bolton but losing at home to Wolves and Norwich. Patrick Bamford and Thomas Cannon have two goals apiece to lead a functional attack.
Inconsistent yet a bogey side for Stoke, the Blades have won each of the last five meetings between these teams.
