Sheffield United vs Derby County Prediction: Both aiming for third consecutive wins

Sheffield United will welcome Derby County at Bramall Lane in Game Week 6 of the English Championship. Both teams aiming for third consecutive wins. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Sheffield United will be confident of another win on Saturday at Bramall Lane to maintain their excellent start to the Championship season and cement their position higher up the league table. Having been put two points behind all the other teams at the beginning of the season, following their terrible display in the Premier League last season, the Blades have enjoyed an unbeaten start to take nine points from five matches with three wins and two draws.

Having the winning streak going into the final game of the season before the international break, Sheffield United trounced Hull City 2-0 at Hillsborough with Gustavo Hamer and Sam McCallum scoring.

Situated firmly in the top six, Sheffield United, with a perfect record since the break, having emerged winners over Watford before the international break, hopes to achieve their third successive victory as they look to cement themselves as strong promotion candidates to return to the Premier League.

It will not be easy as the visitors have done extremely well at the start of their season in the Championship after promotion from England's third tier last season. Derby County, who also returned to the Championship this season, wished to solidify their position in the second-tier and have gained nine points so far from their first five matches. Indeed, Derby County had experienced a less-than-stellar period in their matches at the opening end but won against Middlesbrough and lost to Blackburn Rovers and Watford. They conclude the pre-break spell with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Bristol City due to goals from Kenzo Goudmijn, Kayden Jackson, and David Ozoh. Derby County would then return from the break on a 1-0 victory over Cardiff City and look forward to making this a victorious spell as they continue in their quest for a top-six league position.

Derby County has good reasons to remain positive since they started their season well and have back-to-back win. Sheffield United will not be easy to beat given the past show where they were on par with attacking and defending prowess both. They are playing at home and, therefore, with the momentum, they are going to be crushing another win on Saturday.
