- The last two meetings between the clubs are split 1-1, with Wolves the victors in 2023/2024.
- Wolves have won three of their last five games in all competitions (Drawn 1, Lost 1), while the Blades have won two, drawn two and lost one.
- The Blades have won one of their three Championship 2026/2027 home games (Drawn 1, Lost 1), scoring four goals in total.
Wolves are worth a wager to edge a classic
The odds on this Championship 2026/2027 clash make Wolves narrow favourites at 31/25, just ahead of Sheffield United at 97/50 with the draw at 51/20. Wolves have the slight advantage of two extra Championship points after five games, but Sunday's game at Bramall Lane has all the makings of a classic.
The home side have played some decent football under Chris Wilder, pressing high and playing with tempo on the front foot with the full-backs offering width. Their last three Championship 2026/2027 games have provided plenty of drama at both ends - a 2-2 draw at Cardiff, a 3-2 home win over Bolton and a 3-1 home defeat to Norwich.
Patrick Bamford is the most likely Blades outlet up front, having scored two goals in five Championship 2026/2027 games so far.
Blades have kept Wolves at bay at home
Wolves have played some attractive football themselves, but César Peixoto has a different style and his side are more patient in possession and structured in how they press opponents to protect the transitions.
Fer Lopez is the top scorer in the Championship 2026/2027 with three goals in five and provides a sharper cutting edge than any Blades forward at the moment.
Wolves have won once, drawn once and lost once on the road in the Championship 2026/2027 so far, scoring seven goals and conceding six. A 4-2 loss at West Ham was followed by a 2-2 draw at Birmingham, so the goals have been flowing for Wolves, but their defensive line has been a little wobbly.
It seems wise to ignore the home advantage and just go with BTTS at a touch of odds-on as the main recommendation here. Over 2.5 goals looks good too given the attacking nature and transitional style of both clubs, while we're going to go with the favourites to nick a result in a hard-fought contest.
