3444

On Tuesday night, Sheffield United host Brentford at Bramall Lane, in a game that could be crucial to the home sides chances of promotion.

The Blades are currently third place in the second tier table, just two points behind Yorkshire rivals Leeds who occupy the second automatic promotion spot.

Chris Wilder’s team head into this clash eight matches unbeaten in the Championship, having recorded four wins in their last five league outings. Last time out, the Blades defeated Yorkshire rivals Rotherham 2-0. The win saw United keep a fifth straight clean sheet in the Championship.

The Blades recent solid defensive record has contributed to four of their last five league matches producing under 2.5 goals.

Sheffield United have been strong at home of late in the Championship, winning their last seven matches on home soil, while also keeping six straight clean sheets on home soil.

Brentford are 13th place in the table, six points adrift of the play-off spots after a recent good run of form.

In fact, the Bees have won four of their last five matches in the Championship. Last time out in the second tier, Thomas Frank’s team won 2-1 at Middlesbrough. The match saw Brentford score at least two goals for the third time in four league matches.

The visitors recent league outings have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine Championship matches.

Brentford’s away form has hindered their promotion challenge, as the Bees have won just two of their last 19 league matches away from home. However, both of those away wins have been in their last four away matches.

Brentford’s recent matches on their travels in the Championship have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last four league outings.

Forebet predicts that Sheffield United will pick up a vital win in a low scoring match to move above local rivals Leeds into the automatic promotion spots.
