Sheffield United vs Sunderland predictions: Championship play-off final tips and odds
Our tipster has three betting predictions for the Championship play-off final between Sheffield United and Sunderland at Wembley Stadium on Saturday (kick-off, 3.01pm).

Black Cats can take final the distance Sheffield United are 13/10 favourites to win this Championship play-off final, having finished third in the table, 14 points clear of Sunderland. The Black Cats ended their campaign in poor form, losing their last five games, but bounced back with a 3-2 aggregate win over Coventry City in the semi-finals. The two meetings between the sides both ended in home wins, the Blades winning 1-0 at Bramall Lane in November but losing 2-1 at the Stadium of Light in January. The pressure will be on them after they missed out on automatic promotion and I think that Sunderland will make this tight. Bookings bet looks set to land With a place in the Premier League at stake, the winners can bank on around £220m extra revenue next season. Such high stakes promise to make it a tense occasion and I am expecting the referee Chris Kavanagh to have a busy afternoon. Sunderland ranked third in the Championship's disciplinary table for bad behaviour, while Sheffield United were seventh. In this season's first meeting between the sides, in November, six yellow cards and two reds were shown, while the reverse fixture in January featured five bookings. On both occasions, a bet on 50+ booking points would have been successful. Hamer and Isodor can each fire in a shot My final recommendation is a bet builder featuring three selections, two of which concern players having one or more shots on target. Sunderland's Wilson Isidor had the third-highest number of shots on target in the Championship this season with 39, while Sheffield United's Gustavo Hamer ranks 17th with 29. To those bets I'll add the United's Vinicius Souza to commit two or more fouls. The midfielder had the third-highest number of offences in the Championship with 37, averaging two per game.

Luton Town vs Sheffield United LIVE: Championship latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow live coverage as Luton Town face Sheffield United in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season. Relegation from the top flight last term means Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United are all back in the second tier this term and will be expected to push for play-off spots again at least, but so too will Norwich City, an improving Coventry and beaten play-off finalists Leeds United. At the other end of the table, Wayne Rooney is aiming to revive Plymouth's fortunes after they narrowly avoided relegation last year, with Portsmouth and Derby the teams promoted from League One along with play-off final winners Oxford.
