Sheffield United Championship Odds: Play-Offs again for the Blades?
Will Jackson 
After suffering the ultimate heartbreak at Wembley and missing out on a Premier League spot for next season, what are Sheffield United's Championship odds?
Chris Wilder's side will likely lose a lot of key players over the summer as they are picked apart but will still be expected to compete at the top of the division.
We've taken a look at Sheffield United's Championship odds with online betting sites.
Sheffield United Championship Odds
| Outright | Odds |
| Winner | 9/1 |
| Promotion | 5/2 |
Winner
The Blades will take a lot of heart from Leeds' performance this season.
They too lost in the play-off final at Wembley in their first season back in the Championship when they were expected to go up, having been the third best team in the regular season, but came back stronger to reach 100 points and win the title and return to the Premier League.
So will it be a case of second season lucky for Sheffield United?
They are likely to lose one or two key players - particularly Gus Hamer - but if Chris Wilder stays in charge then they have the experience to cope and come back stronger, though they need to improve in the transfer window given the failure of the January signings to hit the ground running.
The problem for the Blades is in Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich, they have three strong clubs coming down. As it currently stands, their status as third favourites to win the Championship (behind Ipswich and Southampton) looks about right.
Promotion
If Leicester have the off-field issues that some people expect them to have this season - there is a possibility of a points deduction - then Sheffield United could face a familiar problem this season.
Two clear favourites leading the way and the Blades doing their best to keep up - rinse and repeat for 2025/26?
If the football betting markets are to be believed, they are comfortably third favourites for promotion which points to a third-placed finish.
Given their poor history and record at Wembley in the play-offs, and it could be another tough season for Blades fans.
