Command Analysis
Millwall
EnglandCurrent form
Millwall have not played in the Premier League for a long time and dream of getting into the top division of England. Last season, the London club finished only in 13th place without much chance even of the playoff zone. The Londoners are approaching the match with the championship leader in the same position. The club is five points behind Middlesbrough, who are closing the top six. After three consecutive draws in matches against Stoke City (1:1), Sunderland (1:1) and Oxford (1:1), Neil Harris' charges lost at home to Coventry City (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts are missing Jake Cooper, Joshua Cockburn and Callum Scanlon through injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Three of the hosts' last four matches have ended in a draw
- The club has lost only one of its last five home matches
Probable lineup: Jensen - McNamara, Wallace, Tanganga, Leonard - Saville, De Norre - Aziz, Honeyman, Esse - Langstaff
Sheffield United
EnglandCurrent form
Sheffield United have been in impressive form and are now unbeaten for eight games in a row. Such a great run of results has allowed the team to move up to second place in the league table, and now they are only two points behind Leeds at the top, while the visitors of the upcoming match have a game in hand. In case of victory, Chris Wilder men will return to the top of the league table. It is obvious that the "blades" will prepare for the match accordingly.
Disqualifications and injuries
Arblaster, Sachdev, Brewster, Davis and Moore will be out of action due to injuries. Interesting trends for betting
- Sheffield United are now unbeaten in eight games
- The visitors have had red cards in three of their last six matches
Estimated cast: Cooper, Burroughs, Ahmedhodzic, Souttar, Gilchrist, Hamer, Peck, Vinny Souza, Rak-Saki, O'Hare, Moore.
Trends
Bet Exact score 0:2
Two of the last three head-to-head matches ended with this score
11.00Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in three of the last five away matches
1.70Bet Number 2 in the final score
This pattern has worked in the last three matches between the teams.
1.70Tip and bets
Both teams will take to the pitch with a high spirit, as both clubs need points badly. The hosts recently ended their unbeaten run, losing at home to Coventry City. Before that, the team drew three times in a row, thus ending a series of four wins. It is obvious that Millwall results are declining. Sheffield United ended their last away match with West Bromwich Albion (2:2), but Millwall are lower in the standings, so they can fight for a win. We suggest betting on the visitors with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Sheffield United at 1.78
Bet on total
Since both teams need points, the game will be a cautious affair, and, as in three of the four previous head-to-head encounters, the opponents will not be able to score even three times between them. The teams will rely on defensive actions, and in such games it is reckless to hope for an abundance of goals scored.
Our prediction is total under two goals at 1.90
Bet on corners
The teams are not known for their powerful attacking actions, which means that it is unlikely that they will be able to make many corner passes in this match. The opponents will play to maintain the score, and in such matches, an over total for corners is a huge rarity.
Our prediction is total under 10.5 corners for 1.85
