The Blades are already quietly finishing their game this season. In the standings, Sheffield United have booked the last place and guaranteed themselves a ticket to the Championship ahead of schedule. For 34 rounds Sheffield United has earned only 17 points. Paul Hackingbottom’s team is nine points behind even the penultimate West Brom. The change on the coaching bridge did not affect the quality of Sheffield United’s game in any way. “Blades” continue to lose steadily, only occasionally diluting defeats with victorious matches. In the last round, Paul Hackingbottom’s charges were not surprising in the match against Tottenham, losing to Spurs with a crushing score of 0:4. But in the previous home match with Brighton, Sheffield just won one of the few victories in the current championship, beating the Seagulls with a score 1:0. It should be noted that the “blades” earned most of their points just in the home arena. On the road they scored only four. Of their five victories in the championship, four took place in their home arena. At the same time, they lost at home to Sheffield United 12 times and ended only one match in a draw. In terms of goals scored, the future hosts of the match have one of the worst indicators in the Premier League. Only 11 times they managed to distinguish themselves in home matches. Only Fulham has a worse indicator. Forwards Oliver McBurney and Billy Sharp, as well as midfielder Jack O’Connell, will not play due to injuries. Questionable is Ethan Ampadu.
It seems, dismissal from the coaching bridge Jose Mourinho went to the benefit of the London club. Under the leadership of Ryan Mason, Tottenham first drew with Everton (2:2) and then beat Southampton (2:1) and Sheffield United (4:0). Before the upcoming match in the standings “Spurs” occupy the sixth place. The London club has 56 points on its balance sheet. Tottenham are two points behind West Ham and five behind fourth Chelsea. However, behind is Liverpool by two points and Everton is by four points, which are ready to oust the Londoners from the European competition zone. In addition, the pursuers played one less game. One of the reasons for Mourinho’s dismissal was just Tottenham’s unsuccessful away game. Spurs have achieved just three wins in their last 13 away games. In general, in the course of the championship, the London club won seven times in 17 away matches, finished five meetings in a draw and lost five times. Defender Ben Davis will not play for Tottenham due to injury. So, what is the soccer bet prediction for today?
