Prediction: 1-2
Sheffield United
All eyes will be on Riverside Stadium when Middlesbrough and Sheffield United square off against each other in the Championship derby. The Boro are eyeing their first win of the season, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Blades. Defender Darragh Lenihan is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. One of the men to watch in the home side will be summer signing Marcus Forss, who opened his goal-scoring account in the 3-2 loss to QPR.
The Blades, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a 2-0 win over Millwall. Sheffield United seem to be more of a team than Middlesbrough, and even though Chris Wilder’s men are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on the visitors. All McBurnie, Basham, Robinson, Doyle, Davies, Bogle, and O’Connell are injured for the visiting side.
