On Tuesday evening, the anticipation will reach its crescendo as Sheffield United, the newly promoted Premier League team, will pit their wits against Rotherham United. The stage is set at the AESSEAL New York Stadium in South Yorkshire, where both teams will go head-to-head to assert their dominance. Sheffield United come into this game after a goalless draw against Portuguese Primeira Liga side Estoril, while Rotherham United recently triumphed over Mansfield Town with a 4-2 victory.
Rotherham United’s Struggle and Resurgence
Post their demotion from the Championship in the 2020-21 season, Rotherham United bounced back immediately, achieving promotion in their first attempt. Despite the challenges, they displayed commendable resilience last season, securing the 19th spot in the league, thus staying clear of the relegation by six points.

Their victory against Middlesbrough, ensuring their survival in the English football’s second tier, indeed stands out. However, the last season ended on a slightly bitter note for them as this was the only victory they could clinch in their final seven games.
Matt Taylor, the team’s manager, has his sights firmly set on a higher league table finish this season, but their pre-season campaign hasn’t exactly gone as planned. Despite their comprehensive victory over Mansfield Town, they suffered losses against Elche and Middlesbrough. Yet, Taylor can take solace in the fact that his team managed to extract four points from their encounters against Sheffield United last season and haven’t suffered a defeat against them at home since a 2017 friendly.
Sheffield United’s Consistent Run
On the other hand, Sheffield United have been consistently impressive, culminating in their return to the Premier League. They finished second in the Championship with a commendable 91 points, just 10 points shy of the league toppers, Burnley.
Paul Heckingbottom, in his inaugural full season leading the Blades, kept his team competitive for the top spot. Despite some unfortunate losses towards the end of February, Sheffield United boasted an impressive record for the season – 28 victories, seven draws, and 11 losses. They also reached the FA Cup semi-final, displaying their dominance over Tottenham Hotspur and Blackburn Rovers.
Their defensive stronghold has been a key component in their success, reflecting in their pre-season performances. They won against Chesterfield and maintained a clean sheet against Estoril, indicating a formidable defence to contend with. With three more friendly matches to come before their inaugural Premier League match against Crystal Palace, Heckingbottom would be looking to keep the undefeated streak alive.
Clash of the Titans: The Match Predictions
Given the past performances and statistics, predicting the outcome of this match is a challenging yet exciting task.
Prediction 1: The Match Outcome Considering the overall team strength and recent performances, the prediction for the win-draw-away market would be a draw. Sheffield United’s sturdy defence and Rotherham United’s home advantage makes it an even contest. With Rotherham remaining unbeaten against Sheffield at home since 2017, a draw seems like a viable prediction.
Prediction 2: The Score Line As Sheffield United boasts a formidable defence and Rotherham United’s scoring form in the recent games, a correct score prediction would be a 1-1 draw. This prediction aligns with the teams’ respective defensive and attacking capabilities.
Prediction 3: The Goal Scorer Georgie Kelly, after his splendid hat-trick against Mansfield Town, is the player likely to score during this match. Given his recent form and striking ability, he might be the one to break the defensive wall of Sheffield United.
