Blades headed for the Championship from the start of the season and have not turned away from it yet. Chris Wilder is struggling to find the threads that would help improve the quality of the team’s play and raise its morale. It seems that the resignation of a coach is a matter of one or two weeks. In the last round of the championship Sheffield United played on the road against one of the main rivals in the struggle for Sheffield United’s registration and could not defeat an opponent. Moreover, it did not earn even one point. The defeat with a score of 0:1 was already the ninth for the “blades” in ten rounds. Chris Wilder’s players remain the only Premier League team, which did not win a single match this season. Sheffield United’s only credit was at home against Fulham, ending in a 1-1 draw. In other fights the “blades” suffered defeats and did not even score. With the same score of 0:1 they lost at home arena to Leeds, Manchester City and West Ham and to Wolverhampton with a score 0:2. The weak side in the game of Wilder’s charges is still the attack. For ten matches of the current championship they managed to distinguish themselves with only four accurate strikes. This is the worst indicator so far in the Premier League. However, the same indicator has Burnley, with which they share the last place in terms of performance. Due to injury only defender Jack O’Connell will miss the match. The participation in the match of two key defenders End Stevens and Ethan Ampadu is in question.
Bologna are one of only two Serie A clubs with a zero draw. After nine rounds, their stats are four wins and five defeats with a goal-to-go ratio of 14:14. At the end of November, the Greyhounds scored six points out of six, beating Sampdoria away (2:1) and Crotone at home (1:0). Sinisa Mikhailovich’s team is in tenth place with 12 points.
