Middlesbrough Sheffield United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be both teams scoring at least one goal. We believe Middlesbrough will dominate much of the match and enjoy the best scoring opportunities; however, the Sheffield Wednesday's quick transitions should create difficulties to the home team. On the other hand, both teams have effective attacks when playing in these conditions, and are likely to score a few goals. So, and taking into account these factors, we believe that a bet in favor of the goals in this match is full of value.

Preview
Middlesbrough and Sheffield United meet at Riverside Stadium, in a match for the 2nd round of the Championship. There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 09‑04‑2011, the match ended with the final score: Sheffield United (1‑2) Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Middlesbrough

The home team comes to this 2nd round after having lost (1‑0) in the 1st round, in a match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 4 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 7 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Middlesbrough has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Middlesbrough comes unmotivated for this match after having recorded the first defeat of the championship, losing at Wolves ground by 1-0. Despite this defeat, Garry Monk must keep the team in the usual tactical system, benefiting from ball possession and the organized attacks through the flanks. Assombalonga and Braithwaite are the forward players of the home team, being both very competent in finishing. For this match, the coach has all the players available.

Confirmed Lineup: Darren Randolph, Cyrus Christie, George Friend, Dael Fry, Ben Gibson, Adam Clayton, Jonathan Howson, Adam Forshaw, Rudy Gestede, Patrick Bamford, Britt Assombalonga.
Coach: K. Hellberg.

Analysis Sheff Utd

The away team comes to this 2nd round after a (1‑0) win in their league debut, against Brentford. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 38 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 30 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the League Cup, they got a home win against Walsall by (3‑2). In the last 10 away matches Sheffield United has won 9 and tied 1. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 26 of the last 29 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 23 out of 29 have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

Sheffield United comes motivated for this match after the victory against Walsall, by 4-2, in a match counting for the English League Cup. In this second leg, the coach Chris Wilder should keep the team in 3-5-2 with the forward positions being held by Levery and Hason. However, the great highlight of Sheffield United is central defender Brayford, a very powerful and accomplished player in the aerial play. Simon Moore is the only one absent for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: J. Blackman, Kieron Freeman, Enda Stevens, Richard Stearman, Jack O'Connell, Chris Basham, Samir Carruthers, Paul Coutts, John Fleck, Leon Clarke, Patrick McCarthy.
Coach: P. Heckingbottom.
