Prediction: 2-1
Blackburn Rovers
Top position in the Championship standings will be at stake when Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers go head to head at Bramall Lane on Saturday. The Blades did well to beat ten-man Sunderland 2-1 on Wednesday evening, with the team climbing to 4th position, but they do not want to stop now. Even though all Bogle, Clark, Davies, O’Connell, Osborn, Robinson, Sharp, and Stevens have been struggling with injuries of late, home win should be considered as Blackburn experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Reading.
The Riversiders aim to retain first place in the standings, but given their display in the midweek defeat, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Paul Heckingbottom’s charges. Scott Wharton should be the only absentee in the away side.
