Sheffield Utd feel slightly unsure on the road, having gained only 16 out of 36 possible points. Nevertheless, it is worth mentioning that the team’s attacking line shows quite a suitable play, having scored 16 goals already while its defense disappoints, having conceded 17 goals so far. Sheffield Utd lost points in their latest away battles, having got two defeats from Preston 0:1 and Millwall 1:3 alongside with 2:2 draw against Aston Villa in them. In other words, the club suffers greatly on the road.
The hosts are considered to be the favourites of the upcoming head-to-head as they look better within the Championship and rarely lose points in face of their fans. Despite the fact that the most recent battle between the rivals ended with 3:1 triumph of Sheffield Utd, at the moment the hosting side is expected to collect three points in the upcoming clash.
Prediction for the match: Derby County to win.
