Sheffield United Strong At The Back

Sheffield United have made a fortress out of Bramall Lane and have only conceded only 2 goals in 8 matches at home this season and only conceded 9 goals in total all season, there back line is strong and they have plenty going forward in the form of Tyrese Campbell who has scored 5 and is in hot form coming into this.

Many football tipsters are tipping Sheffield United to get promoted and it seems that as long as they do good business in the transfer window there is a big chance of that happening.

United will come out of the boxes fast against Sunderland tonight and will possibly go ahead early doors, its whether Sunderland can peg them back that remains to be seen.

Sunderland Hard To Beat

Sunderland have lost only 2 matches this season and are hard to beat, a goal less draw away at West Brom is a good result on the road and they will be looking to upset the home faithful tonight.

I think they will give it a good go, but they are going to find it hard to break down the Sheffield United back line that will be alert and ready for any attempts thrown at them tonight, Sunderland will need to take an early lead to upset things.

I don’t think that is going to happen in all honesty, I think perhaps the best result for Sunderland here barring any red cards etc is a draw.

I am going to go for either a 1-0 win or a 2-1 win for Sheffield United, if United take the lead early Sunderland are in trouble and vice versa, so all eyes will be on the first half.
