Our prediction for this Championship match:
There will be fireworks when Sheffield United and WBA face each other at Bramall Lane in the Championship derby. The Blades aim to build on back-to-back wins over Cardiff (4-1) and Bristol City (1-0), and a triumph over WBA will see them secure automatic Premier League promotion. James McAtee, who scored the winner against the Robins, is pushing for a start, while all Rhian Brewster, Enda Stevens, Ben Osborn, Rhys Norrington-Davies, and Jack O’Connell remain in the recovery room.
The Baggies, on the other hand, aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Adam Reach, Daryl Dike, Grady Diangana, Dara O’Shea, and Matt Phillips miss out with injuries, while both Tom Rogic and Marc Albrighton should be recalled to the starting XI.
