Command Analysis

Middlesbrough

Current form

Middlesbrough are in 11th place in the league table and are planning to fight for at least the playoff zone, which is only four points away. The position in the table would be even more promising if not for the defeats in the last two rounds. The team lost first to Watford (1:2), and then to Bristol City (0:2). Before that, they managed to win over West Bromwich (1:0) and Stoke City (2:0). It is noteworthy that it was Stoke City that knocked Middlesbrough out of the League Cup, winning with a score of 5:0.

Disqualifications and injuries

The hosts have some serious injury problems, with Alex Bangura, Markus Forss, Dael Fry, Jonathan Howson, Darragh Lenihan and Tom Smith all missing.

Interesting trends for betting

The team has won only one of its last five home games.
The team has scored only 10 goals in 10 matches, and is ahead of only Swansea in this indicator

Tentative line-up : Dieng - Neto Borges, Edmundson, Van den Berg, Ayling - Hackney, Morris - Hamilton, Azaz, Doak - Latte Lough.

Sheffield United

Current form

Sheffield United were the weakest team in the Premier League last season and were the first to lose their chances of staying in the league. As a result, the team took the last place, having scored only 16 points in 38 matches, eight less than the penultimate Burnley. However, the visitors were not particularly upset and immediately began to fight for a return to the elite. The start of the season is going quite well - the Blades are in fourth place and are only three points behind the leaders Leeds and Sunderland. United suffered their first defeat in the Championship only in the last round, losing away to one of the strongest teams in the league, Leeds (0:2). Before that, the team kept a clean sheet in six matches in a row.

Disqualifications and injuries

Tom Davies will miss the upcoming match due to a leg injury, while Viny Souza will not play due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Interesting trends for betting

The team has conceded in only three matches this season.
The visitors have won seven of their last nine matches.

Estimated line-up : Cooper - Shackleton, Suttar, Ahmedhodzic, Norrington-Davies - Burrows, Arblaster, Hamer, Peck - O'Hare - Moore.

Tip and bets

TipSheffield United won't lose

1.80

The hosts have been acting too inconsistently lately, which is what prevents the club from rising above the middle of the table. It is unlikely that Middlesbrough will be able to beat Sheffield United, because the Blades have a very strong squad by Championship standards and play extremely disciplined in defense. We believe that the brilliant play of the defenders and goalkeeper Mikael Cooper will help the visitors take at least one point from the Riverside.

Our prediction is Sheffield United not to lose at 1.80

Will the prediction win?

Tiptotal under 2.5 goals

1.92

Bet on total

The visitors rely on defense in their matches and quite often keep their goal intact. It is quite possible that Chris Wilder defensive tactics will bring success and the Sheffield club will win with a minimum score.

The second bet is total under 2.5 goals for 1.92

Bet on the first half

In four of their last five defeats, Middlesbrough have suffered a poor first half and have been behind in that period. The hosts are likely to fail to contain their opponents this time and go into the break trailing.

Prediction: Sheffield United win in the first half with odds of 4.30
