Sheffield United
Sheffield United are going through a dip in form as they suffered their second consecutive defeat last weekend. The Blades lost to Millwall by 3-2 last time out and with it, their second position is being threatened by Middlesbrough who have closed the gap down to four points.
The defense is the main reason for this loss of momentum by Sheffield United. To illustrate, the Blades conceded six goals in their last two games and an average of 1.13 goals in the last eight rounds which is 20.2% higher than their season’s average of 0.94.
Watford
With the 3-2 home win against West Brom, Watford went back to winning ways after three consecutive draws and extended their unbeaten run to four matches. The Hornets have drawn four of their eight matches in the Championship and find themselves in the middle of the playoffs spots.
Watford’s attackers have been doing well in front of the goal lately as we can see in their last eight games. The Hornets scored an average of 1.38 goals per game in the eight rounds prior to this game which is 11.3% more than their season’s average of 1.24.
Sheffield United have to find a way to come out of this slump if they want to maintain their second position. The Blades were unbeatable at one point with a ten-match unbeaten run. Still, we will back a Sheffield United double chance combined with under 3.5 goals.
Sheffield United usually score 2.13 goals per game when playing at Bramall Lane. Watford on the other side conceded 1.24 goals per game in their away games. With odds of 1.33 at 1xBet, we predict Sheffield United to score over one goal and consider it as our safe bet.
