Boro to keep hopes of automatic promotion alive at Bramall Lane
4725

On Wednesday night, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough go head-to-head at Bramall Lane in a massive game in the race for promotion to the Premier League from the Championship.

Sheffield United

The Blades are in a highly promising position to seal automatic promotion to the Premier League, as the Yorkshire outfit currently sits in second place in the table, ten points clear of their third-place opponents.

Paul Heckingbottom’s team heads into this clash on the back of a 13-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

That stellar run includes a 10-match unbeaten run in the Championship, having recorded eight victories in the process. The Blades have also kept three consecutive clean sheets in the English second tier.

United have won their last five games in the Championship while also losing just once in their previous 13 league matches at Bramall Lane.

Middlesbrough

The team from the north east head to Sheffield on an excellent run of form, as Boro have now won seven of their last eight games in the Championship.

The stellar form has not only put them in the league’s play-off spots but also given them an outside chance of automatic promotion.

Michael Carrick’s team has found their shooting boots of late in the Championship, scoring at least two goals in six of their previous eight league games.

Their goalscoring exploits have contributed to 9 of Boro’s last 12 Championship matches producing over 2.5 goals.

The visitor's recent away form has been good, as the north east team has won six of their last eight league matches on their travels while also scoring at least two goals in all six wins.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that Middlesbrough will continue their recent form by recording a victory at Bramall Lane in a low-scoring encounter.
