Championship football returns this weekend, so we asked AI to provide its best Sheffield United Vs Bristol City betting tips for Saturday’s fixture at Bramall Lane.
It’s a re-run of last season’s EFL Championship play-off semi-final as Sheffield United host Bristol City on Saturday.
United were comfortable victors over two legs in May, winning 3-0 home and away.
But neither side achieved promotion, with Sunderland beating the Blades at Wembley in the play-off final.
And it’s the home side who are the comfortable favourites for this one.
At the time of writing, UK betting sites are pricing Sheffield United at 3/4 for victory.
Bristol City, meanwhile, can be backed at 4/1.
In terms of the overall expectation on both sides, it’s once again the Blades with better odds of promotion.
Currently, Sheffield United are 9/4 to go up, making them the fourth favourites.
For the Robins, their odds of 10/1 have them expected to finish somewhere in mid-table.
Ahead of the action, we asked AI for its top three Sheffield United Vs Bristol City betting tips.

Sheffield United Vs Bristol City AI Betting Tips
Below are the top three Sheffield United Vs Bristol City betting tips, as chosen by AI.
Ahead of Saturday’s EFL Championship opening round fixture, you can back any or all of these tips.
1. Sheffield United to Win & Both Teams to Score – 15/8
First up, the AI believes backing Sheffield United to win with both teams scoring is a good shout.
The Blades are strong home favourites, but Bristol City are capable of grabbing a goal.
The model cites that Sheffield United have won 10 of their last 13 home encounters against City, while BTTS has landed in three of their last five head-to-heads.
With the Blades favoured to dominate possession and City capable of counter-attacks, an open game seems likely.
2. Gustavo Hamer Anytime Goalscorer – 9/4
Gustavo Hamer to score anytime is the AI’s next pick.
It references the Blades man being named last year’s Championship Player of the Season, with a central role in his side’s 6-0 aggregate victory over Bristol City in the play-offs.
In-play dynamics, especially set-pieces or late crosses, should see him involved in scoring opportunities.
3. Over 3.5 Corners – 10/11
And finally, the AI recommends backing over 3.5 corners at 10/11.
Sheffield average over seven home corners per game and dominate possession, while Bristol City also average almost 10 corners in away matches, according to stats from the last ten fixtures.
If United press early and attack frequently, combined with Bristol’s response strategy, the AI expects the corner count to add up quickly once play settles.
