Sheffield United vs Preston North End match preview
Two sides in the midst of altogether contrasting spells of form are set to lock horns in a Championship clash at Bramall Lane this Saturday, April 29th.
The matchup in question will see Sheffield United act as hosts, in a meeting with Preston North End.
Beginning with the former, Sheffield United are of course fresh off an altogether special evening in midweek.
This came as, amid an at-times tumultuous campaign, the Blades’ return to the top-flight of English football was finally made official.
After welcoming fellow promotion hopefuls West Bromwich Albion to Bramall Lane, goals on the part of Sander Berge and Anel Ahmedhodžić proved enough to guide Paul Heckingbottom’s troops to the right side of a 2-0 scoreline, their third victory on the trot.
United, in turn, opened up an unassailable seven-point advantage over the rest of the chasing pack, joining Burnley as the 2nd Championship club to book their spot in the Premier League for next season.

After establishing themselves in the thick of the playoff battle courtesy of a stellar stretch of five wins from six, the Lilywhites have since fallen off the pace at the worst possible time over the last couple of weeks.
First, a trip to fellow top-six suitors Millwall saw Ryan Lowe’s troops put to the sword by two goals to nil, before a 2nd successive defeat followed at Swansea City.
Then, last time out, only a last-gasp own goal prevented Preston from slipping to a third loss on the bounce.
Such woes, all told, have culminated in the Lilywhites tumbling to mid-table, albeit still just two points adrift of the playoff pace.
With their opponents-in-waiting likely set to take their foot off the pedal after sealing promotion, it is safe to say, then, that Saturday’s visitors to Bramall Lane will have their sights set firmly on a bounce-back victory.
Owing to their shaky recent form, however, we at 101 view as much as unlikely, instead backing the spoils to ultimately be shared upon the full-time whistle bringing a close to proceedings between Sheffield United and Preston North End.
