Stoke v Sheffield United: Prediction, tips and bet builder as Blades look to send play-off statement

A frustrated Sheffield United will be looking to take their anger out on an already wounde Stoke City side when the two teams meet this Friday night (2000 GMT).

Just five matchdays ago, Sheffield United were top of the Championship and เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย seeme destined for automatic promotion.

However, a run of four defeats from their last five games not only cause the latest Chris Wilder meltdown but also denie United their place in the top two.

The Blades are now setting their sights on the upcoming play-offs, but they have the small matter of two league games to navigate before starting their post-season campaign.

One of those matches takes place on Friday night when Sheffield Untied travel to Stoke – the same team which was left battere and bruise following a 6-0 thumping away in Leeds last Monday.

Sheffield United’s recent struggles have really got the bookmarkers scratching their heads. At the time of writing, the Blades are a massive 2/1 to win this encounter despite sitting 14 places and 36 points ahead of Stoke.

United’s poor form isn’t the only reason for these odds. Stoke’s recent home results also have a lot to do with it, considering the Potters have won three of their last four at the Stadium and are unbeaten at the ground since February.

Robins and his men have only suffered three defeats at home since October, with all three coming against top opposition in Burnley, Leeds and Middlesbrough.

United, on the other hand, are on a three-match losing run when it comes to games away from home. Oxford, Plymouth and most recently Burnley have all got the better of Wilder’s men, albeit all by a single goal margin.

Despite all that, we’re still going with the visitors to get the win in the outright market. Not only are the odds attractive, but United didn’t look all that bad against Burnley last time out.
