Middlesbrough vs Sheffield United Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Ian John in Championship Predictions
Middlesbrough face Sheffield United at the Riverside on Wednesday night with both teams looking to bounce back after weekend defeats. The Smoggies lie ninth in the Championship table after their last match, while the Blades dropped to fourth in the table. Check out our prediction for what looks to be a very tight and defensive match.
Boro boss Michael Carrick won’t be pleased with his team’s second consecutive loss at the weekend. Middlesbrough lost 2-0 at home to Bristol City, which followed a 2-1 defeat at Watford.
That defeat was their first home loss of the season. Defensively, Boro have been pretty solid, but have struggled for goals, scoring just twice in their last three games.
Sheffield United’s 2-0 loss away to Leeds on Saturday was their first defeat of the season, so the alarm bells won’t be ringing for Chris Wilder’s team just yet.
Prior to that loss they had racked up six wins and three draws in their nine previous games and would have been top of the table at the start of the weekend had they not suffered a -2 points deduction this season.
With just five goals conceded, the Blades are very strong defensively. Their two goals conceded against Leeds were their first conceded in seven games.

Our Middlesbrough vs Sheffield United Prediction
Our prediction for the Middlesbrough vs. Sheffield United match in the Championship is: Under 2.5 Goals and Both Teams to Score - No.
Sheffield United have the second best defensive record in the division, but don't score many goals. Middlesbrough don't score or concede very many, especially at home. While there are the odd quirks in the data, the general trend here is for a very tight and close game that is likely to be settled by a single goal.
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout
More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
