Prediction: 2-2
Swansea CIty
Sheffield United square off against Swansea City at their Bramall Lane in the opening match of the season. The Blades failed to impress in the 2017/2018 Championship campaign and, no doubt, they are eager to make amends for the unsuccessful season. It is well known that Sheffield United are tough to beat at home, but Saturday’s football match against Swansea City will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. The Swans failed to secure the Premier League survival in the last season finale and, as a result, they are now competing in the English second tier. The likes of Fer, Montero, Dyer, Ayew, Bony and Narsingh are still part of the team and that is the main reason why we predict the visitors are going to grab something from Saturday’s football match at Bramall Lane.

Two years later, on 30 January 2012, Lafferty signed contract with Burnley for an undisclosed fee.
