Prediction: 1-1
Sheffield United
Ewood Park will be the centre of attention when Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield United go head to head in a highly-anticipated Championship game on Saturday. The Riversiders continue with their old habit of producing excellent displays at home, while struggling on the travels and you should know that they have already recorded five victories in front of home fans this term.
The likes of Carter, Gilsenan, and Wharton continue to miss out with injuries, while Japan forward Yuki Ohashi should sneak into the starting XI. The Blades, meanwhile, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Stoke City. Sheffield United are a real force to be reckoned with at home as well, but given their ups and downs on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Defender Anel Ahmedhodzic is banned for the visiting team due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
