Sunderland - Sheffield United: Form Analysis

Sheffield United lost 1-0 at home to Luton Town at the weekend. That was their fourth loss in the Championship in their last six games and they need to get back into winning ways. United are struggling for goals with only three scored in their last five league and cup games. Away form in the Championship has seen United win nine games but two of the last three have ended in defeat. Last week did see them get a 1-0 (what else?) win at Reading. That win ended a run of four away league games without a win.

Sunderland won 1-0 at Norwich and desperately needed that victory. Before that win at Carrow Road, their promotion hopes had been hit by a run of three successive defeats with nine goals being conceded. The clean sheet on Saturday was probably more appreciated than the three points. Now comes a vital part of their season and it's a tough one. Following the visit of second placed Sheffield United, Sunderland host Luton who are fourth before a trip to runaway leaders Burnley. Their promotion challenge may well be over in a week or so unless their form picks up. At home this season, Sunderland have won six league games but lost the same number. They're without a win in the last two with three of the last four having under 2.5 goals scored. Their last home game did end in a 5-1 home defeat by Stoke City though.

Sunderland & Sheffield United Squad Analysis

Amad Diallo is a doubt for Sunderland after sustaining a hamstring injury while training last Friday. He is likely to miss this game but may well be back for the Luton game at the weekend. Alex Pritchard missed the game at Norwich and is also unlikely to feature in this match. Sheffield United are expected to make changes after their weekend loss. Sharp. McAtee and Doyle may be in the starting line-up with O'Connell, Brewster and Norrington-Davies all still on the injury list.

Sheffield United to win and under 2.5 goals

Odds 5

United may not be that consistent at present but they are a better team than Sunderland. The hosts had been in poor form before winning at Norwich. They aren't that great at home though and United could get another low-scoring away win.
