Tip and bets

2.25Sheffield United victory

Sheffield United is in great shape and is striving to gain a foothold in the direct qualification zone for the Premier League, but the competition is off the charts. While the Blades do not have a serious gap from their pursuers, and any mistake can be fatal, motivation will clearly go through the roof. Middlesbrough is not a simple opponent and is unlikely to give points, but lately Boro has been looking frankly weak, having lost four of the last five matches, it makes sense in such a situation to give preference to the favorite.

We believe that the guests have no chance. The forecast is for Sheffield United to win. Such a bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.25

1.71Both will score

Bet on the total

Sheffield United keeps up the pace – mistakes happen from time to time, but they are local in nature and do not lead to protracted downturns. On their own field, the Blades are traditionally aggressive in attack and score regularly, Middlesbrough is unlikely to be able to play reliably, recently the guests have been missing a lot and regularly. At the same time, Boro will also have plenty of motivation, there is a risk of falling behind the playoff zone, there are high-level players ahead and Middlesbrough is quite capable of winning by one goal.

The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.71

Betting on corners

Sheffield United are the favorites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking, the hosts should win confidently from the corners.

The bet is Sheffield United's victory on the corners. This bet is offered for 1.75
