Sheffield United vs Mansfield Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 11/01/2026

Sheffield United host Mansfield in the FA Cup looking to maintain momentum after a convincing 3-1 victory over Leicester City. Given Sheffield’s excellent home record, we predict a 3-1 win for the Championship outfit. Chris Wilder is expected to rotate, but the Blades’ depth has been a major asset this season, reflected in their excellent 2.60 PPG at home and an 80% win rate at Bramall Lane. Their defensive numbers at home are especially strong, conceding just 0.40 goals per game and producing 1.95 expected goals, indicators that they control matches and create high-quality chances.The Yellows, on the other hand, travel to “The Steel City” in mixed form but come off a confident 3-0 win over Bradford City, despite missing defender Elliott Hewitt, their only absentee. Their away record is steady, with 1.33 PPG and a balanced 1.17 goals scored vs 1.50 conceded. However, their attacking output remains modest, generating just 1.03 expected goals away from home, which may not be enough against a Championship side with Sheffield United’s attacking potential—2.80 home goals per game being a standout statistic.
