Sheffield United vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Nella Wagah in Championship Predictions
Two managers with quite some pedigree will face off in the Championship when Paul Heckingbottom leads Sheffield United at home to Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough in the Championship. There’s quite some gap between these two in the league standings with Sheffield United second on 61 points then Middlesbrough have 51 points. However, there's plenty to play for in this Wednesday clash.

Sheffield United - Middlesbrough: Form Analysis
Sheffield United recovered from their 0-0 draw with Rotherham United with a 3-0 win over Swansea City in their last game. With that win, they went unbeaten in 13 matches across all competitions and this was their sixth game in 10 that produced over 2.5 goals. In their last 13 matches, Sheffield have 10 wins, and coming into this game, they’ve scored three in three of their last four games. The Blades have failed to score in only one of their last 10 matches, keeping five clean sheets in the process. Singling out the Championship alone, Sheffield United have kept three straight clean sheets ahead of this game and at home they have five straight wins with three clean sheets.
Middlesbrough are also coming from a comfortable win, having beaten Cardiff City 3-1. It was their third straight win and also the third straight game they scored two or more goals. In the last 10 matches, Middlesbrough have seven wins, and three losses, a run that has propelled them to third place, even though with one game more. They’ve only failed to score in one of their last 10 matches but have just three clean sheets in those 10 games. Just like Sheffield United, Middlesbrough prides in a good forward line, having scored two or more goals in seven of their last 10 league matches. Michael Carrick’s side have failed to score in just one of the last five away matches in the Championship.

Sheffield United & Middlesbrough Squad Analysis
Oliver McBurnie and Iliman Ndiaye are on 10 league goals apiece and form the core of the Blades’ attack. McBurnie has been coming from the bench in a lot of matches but after his goal in the last game, he will be pushing for a star. As for Ndiaye, seven assists in addition to his 10 goals makes him a sure starter. The hosts will however be without Tommy Doyle and John Fleck.
On the Middlesbrough side, the league’s lead scorer Chuba Akpom will be expected to start here. Akpom and Marcus Forss have scored three each of the last five matches and will be players to watch here.
