Sheffield United vs Bristol City Odds

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

United Full-Time Odds Suggest Victory

Sheffield United are the -154 favourites on the 1x2 betting. That implies a 61% chance of triumphing in this Championship encounter according to the latest odds. Bristol City are the outsiders at +400 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.

United -0.75 at -125 means you split your Asian Handicap stake between -0.5 and -1. You ideally want a win by two goals or more against City, although a one-goal victory means a half-stake return and a refund with the other half.

If you’re betting on Total Goals, odds of -114 are available for both Over and Under 2.5 Goals. If you’re looking to wager on Both Teams to Score, there’s not a lot of difference between Yes and No.

Hundreds of markets are made available when it comes to Championship matches, with the recommended football betting sites leaving no stone unturned in terms of available options.
