Sheffield United

Sheffield United failed to show themselves in the Premier League last season and returned to conquer the Championship. For now, the Blades are obvious contenders for another return to the top football division.

Since the start of the championship, Sheffield United has not suffered a single defeat, and in the last two matches they have registered "dry" victories over Swansea (1:0) and Luton Town (2:0).

6.50Tip and bets
Bookmakers give a clear advantage to Leeds, but the visitors are unlikely to agree with such odds. Sheffield United are unbeaten, distinguished by a reliable game in defense - only three goals conceded. In addition, the hosts have quite a lot of problems with the lineup. We believe that the "blades" will score at least one point today.
Our prediction is Sheffield United not to lose at 2.00
Bet on total
Since the start of the season, Sheffield United have played nine matches in the Championship, conceding only three goals. It is clear that today the visitors will bet on defense and it is unlikely that Leeds will be able to upset the opponent goal more than once.
The second bet is Leeds individual total goals under 1.5 with odds of 1.87
Bet on the first half
Sheffield United have been successful in the opening stages and have won three of their last five matches after the first half. Accordingly, we offer another option for betting.
Prediction - Sheffield United win in the first half with Asian handicap (0) with odds of 2.80
