Sheffield United aims to consolidate their position in the second automatic promotion place of the Championship as they face Wigan Athletic on Friday. Despite being six points ahead of the third-placed team, the Blades' opponents, Wigan, are struggling at the bottom of the table with a five-point gap to safety.

Sheffield United’s Form

During the last weekend's matches, Sheffield United drew with Norwich City at half time while Middlesbrough was winning against Huddersfield Town. This result would have placed Huddersfield within one point of second place, but instead, the gap has increased to six points. Middlesbrough unexpectedly lost at the John Smith's Stadium while Sheffield United managed to win 1-0 at Carrow Road. This weekend could prove to be the turning point of the season. However, Paul Heckingbottom will urge his team to remain vigilant in the upcoming weeks. Although a home game against the last-placed team seems ideal, Sheffield United has lost four of their last eight Championship matches. Nevertheless, they will play five of their next six matches at Bramall Lane, giving them control over their fate.

Sheffield United’s possible starting lineup

McBurnie, Ndiaye, McAtee, Lowe, Doyle, Berge, Baldock, Robinson, Egan, Ahmedhodzic and Foderingham

Wigan Athletic’s Form

Shaun Maloney's team, Wigan, is facing a tough challenge to avoid relegation after being penalized three points for not paying wages on time. Despite this setback, Wigan's position has improved slightly as Reading was penalized six points earlier in the week. With seven matches remaining, Wigan is now within six points of the 20th spot. Additionally, Wigan has recently won five points from their last three matches, including a crucial 1-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers. While Wigan remains optimistic about their chances to avoid relegation, they recognize the importance of earning points from their upcoming matches against challenging opponents such as Blackpool, Reading, and Rotherham United.

Wigan Athletic’s predicted lineup

Lang, Fletcher, Aasgaard, McClean, Tiehi, Power, Darikwa, Rekik, Whatmough, Hughes and Amos

Sheffield United vs Wigan Athletic Expert Tips

Huddersfield is likely to see a chance to secure a crucial victory, given Wilder's lack of impact at Sheffield United. However, thanks to their superior attacking quality, we think the Sheffield will persevere and secure a vital win. There is a chance that fewer than 2.5 goals will be scored in the game.
