Preston North End Sheffield United betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 21^th position of the league, with 9 points won, after 3 wins and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Watford, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in an away match against Blackburn Rovers, by (1‑3). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins and 8 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 6 away league matches Sheff Utd has a record of 2 wins and 4 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 18 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 11 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Sheffield United head into this fixture in high spirits following a 3-1 away victory over Blackburn, with Axel Henriksson (own goal), Harrison Burrows and Tyrese Campbell getting on the scoresheet in that fine win. The visiting side usually operate in a 5-2-3 formation, favouring a slower and more organised style of play, with a preference for building attacks through the central areas. In this setup, the three players leading the line are expected to be Tom Cannon, Callum O’Hare and Danny Ings. In the central midfield area, Sydie Peck and Djibril Soumaré should start, with the latter taking on the role of orchestrating his team’s attacking movements. The visiting manager is unlikely to have right-back Jamie Shackleton available, as he continues to recover from a foot injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Michael Cooper, Ben Mee, Mark McGuinness, Harrison Burrows, Japhet Tanganga, Callum O'Hare, Andre Brooks, Sydie Peck, Jaïro Riedewald, Tyrese Campbell, Chiedozie Ogbene.
Coach: P. Heckingbottom.
