Swansea vs Sheffield United Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th August 2025

Swansea hope to live up to their early billing as the Championship title favourites on Saturday when they welcome Sheffield United over to the Swansea.com Stadium for a round 2 match.

Swansea will be hopeful of getting on the board after an unlucky opening game to the new Championship campaign which left them empty-handed.

Swansea endured a disappointing opening game in the new Championship season which left them stunned without points.

Swansea and Sheffield United have high hopes for this new season and should be expected to put up a good game as they chase three important points in round 2.

Swansea go into their next Championship match, scoring a humble average of 1.3 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 13 times, while conceding ten. That amounts to an average of one per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring four times.

Sheffield United are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 15 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.5 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 12 goals, and while The Blades claimed four clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.2 goals per match.

Sheffield United won 2-1 and 1-0 in the two most recent meetings with Swansea, and go into their upcoming match with a psychological advantage.

Swansea vs Sheffield United Prediction

Swansea Form

Swansea delivered a bit of everything as their last three matches resulted in a win, a loss and a draw. An encounter with Oxford brought a 3-3 draw, which was followed by a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough. Their most recent game had them back on the winning trail, as they beat Crawley by 3-1. Swansea won four of their last six Championship matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded five and scored nine goals.

Sheffield United Form

Sheffield United endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 1-2 by Sunderland, before Bristol City ran out 1-4 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Birmingham, who came out 2-1 winners. Sheffield United won three of a possible six away matches in the Championship, as well as playing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored eight while also conceding five times.

We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Swansea welcome Sheffield United on Saturday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
