Despite Sheffield United’s recent bad run and blip, Bramall Lane will be rocking this evening as the fans get behind their team in hope of a victory. Friday night under the lights and what a game Sky Sports Football has to offer, kick off is 7:45pm and of course there will be plenty of in play bets. We think there will be goals for both teams but with a Sheffield United home win in mind and a Over 3.5 Goals bet being at 5/1, it might not be a bad shout.
Friday night football has been good for Sheffield United so far this season having played twice and won twice. Both those victories came away from home too, firstly against their fierce Yorkshire rivals Leeds United at the end of October. Then just a few weeks back against lowly Burton Albion. The Burton match however was also The Blades last victory having recently hit a sticky match with no wins in their last three outings. Having lost at home to Fulham in a nine goal thriller, as well as a 1-1 home draw to Birmingham City. Then the weekend just gone they had another tough battle losing 3-1 away to Millwall. They’ll be keen to get back to winnings ways.
Sheffield United vs Bristol City – 7.45pm on SKY Sports Football
As for the visitors Bristol City, well they’re going very well currently with just one defeat in their last eights games in all competitions. Of those eight there has just been one draw too, that was a 0-0 away to Sheffield United’s steel city rivals Sheffield Wednesday. You might think The Robins may have been distracted is recent weeks with the pending visit of Manchester United in the Carabao Cup coming up. It’s not been the case though, having shown that by dispatching Middlesbrough 2-1 on Saturday just gone at Ashton Gate.
If you agree their maybe plenty of goals between these two attacking teams but with every possibility of a draw, then a 2-2 score draw at 11/1 looks a good bet also. My tip, 3-1 home win to Sheffield United.
