Match Preview

Sheffield United is set to host Middlesbrough at Bramall Lane in the Championship on February 9th, 2026.

In the standings, Sheffield United currently holds the 15th position with 39 points, while Middlesbrough impressively secures the 2nd spot with 58 points.

Recent performances show Sheffield United with 3 losses in their last 6 matches across all leagues, while Middlesbrough has been strong on the road, winning 67% of their last 6 Championship away matches.

Looking at their historical matchups, Sheffield United has suffered 3 losses in their last 6 head-to-head encounters in the Championship against Middlesbrough.

Based on these statistics, the model predicts Middlesbrough to secure a narrow 1-0 victory in the upcoming match.

Sheffield United turned on the style against relegation-threatened Oxford United in midweek, scoring three times in the final 50 minutes to seal a 3-1 comeback win. After a strong end to the January transfer window, the Blades are well-positioned to continue their climb up the table and extend their three-game unbeaten streak.

However, their visitors on Monday night will prove tough to beat. Hayden Hackney's early strike proved enough to beat Norwich last weekend, extending Middlesbrough's winning streak to five league games. The Teessiders are now level on points with league leaders Coventry heading into gameweek 31.
