The hosts took the lead against Preston with their first attempt thanks to Ollie Arblaster’s deflected strike in the 12th minute.
Sheffield United doubled their advantage in the 55th minute when Gustavo Hamer audaciously lobbed Freddie Woodman from outside the penalty area after he spotted the goalkeeper backpedalling towards goal. It should be noted that Preston had 12 shots in comparison to the Blades’ 11 and had eight efforts inside the box, double that of Chris Wilder’s side.

Opponents Wrexham secured back to back promotions under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and are embarking on their first campaign in League One since 2004-05.
In their opening game of the 2024-25 season, the Red Dragons beat Wycombe thanks to goals from Max Cleworth, Jack Marriott and Steven Fletcher. Manager Phil Parkinson will have been delighted with his side’s victory, but he will be concerned that his team conceded 19 shots, 15 of which were inside their penalty area.

Although Wrexham have done remarkably well to earn back to back promotions and reach League One, they could find it difficult against Championship side Sheffield United. However, if their game against Wycombe is anything to go by, the Red Dragons will make the Blades work for the victory.
Sheffield United 1-2 Wrexham, predicted by us.
