Prediction: 2-2
Sheffield United
Select Car Leasing Stadium will host Tuesday’s Championship game between Reading and Sheffield United, the two teams who shared the spoils with Nottingham Forest and Coventry City respectively at the weekend. The Royals have been anything but impressive in the first half of the season, and, as a result, Serbian tactician feels pressure ahead of the visit of Sheffield United.
Alen Halilovic should return to contention, but all Hoilett, Joao, Morrison, McIntyre, Clarke, Meite, Azeez, and Araruna miss out with injuries, which is probably the main reason why we are not tempted to put our money on the hosts. The Blades, on the other hand, are desperate to put an end to their four-game winless run, and seeing that they will go for a win in the midweek clash as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Berge, Olsen, O’Connell, and McBurnie are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Andy Yiadom):
Andy Yiadom was born in Holloway, London, but he began his career in the youth team of Watford. After spending two years at the Watford football academy, the pacey full-back (winger) joined Hayes & Yeading United and he scored only one goal in 36 appearances in the league for the club.
At the end of the 2010/2011 campaign Yiadom moved to Braintree Town and after scoring seven goals in 27 appearances for the Iron he signed a contract with Barnet. The 180-cm-tall footballer played for Barnet from 2012 to 2016 and he scored 14 goals in 169 appearances for the Bees. Andy Yiadom then decided to take a step forward in his career as he moved to Championship side Barnsley.
The English footballer played 32 games in the league for the Tykes last season and he provided three assists for his teammates, while receiving four yellow cards. His main position is full-back (right-back), but he is capable of playing on the left flank as well.
Highlighted Team (Sheffield United):
Sheffield United are a professional football club that compete in the Championship. The Blades finished the 2016/2017 League One campaign in top position in the standings, with the team collecting exactly 100 points in the process. Sheffield United last competed in the Premier League in the 2006/2007 season and they were more than unfortunate not to secure the top flight survival.
The Blades finished the season in 18th place in the process and it has to be noted that they were level on points with Wigan Athletic, who managed to avoid the relegation to the English second tier. Sheffield United welcome their rivals at Bramal Lane, the stadium which was opened on April 30, 1855. The current capacity of the venue is 32.702.
The club have numerous rivalries, but the most notable one is the rivalry with their city neighbors Sheffield Wednesday. The two teams face each other in the Steel City derby and it has to be noted that United share rivalry with the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham United, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United as well.
