Our prediction for this Championship match:
Sunday’s football game between West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United will bring down the curtain on day 19 of the new Championship campaign. The Baggies head into the match following three consecutive draws and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways this weekend. The likes of Semi Ajayi, Patrick McNair, and Daryl Dike are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Blades, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Sunderland and Oxford United, but beating WBA at the Hawthorns is easier said than done. As under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last four meetings in all competitions, we are unlikely to see goals galore in Sunday’s showdown. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Both Anel Ahmedhodzic and Harry Souttar are banned for the visiting side.
Highlighted Team (Sheffield United):
Sheffield United are a professional football club that compete in the Championship. The Blades finished the 2016/2017 League One campaign in top position in the standings, with the team collecting exactly 100 points in the process. Sheffield United last competed in the Premier League in the 2006/2007 season and they were more than unfortunate not to secure the top flight survival.
The Blades finished the season in 18th place in the process and it has to be noted that they were level on points with Wigan Athletic, who managed to avoid the relegation to the English second tier. Sheffield United welcome their rivals at Bramal Lane, the stadium which was opened on April 30, 1855. The current capacity of the venue is 32.702.
The club have numerous rivalries, but the most notable one is the rivalry with their city neighbors Sheffield Wednesday. The two teams face each other in the Steel City derby and it has to be noted that United share rivalry with the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham United, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United as well.
