After 2 consecutive wins lately (1 of which of which was registered against the 5th Middlesbrough), Brentford may compete for a playoff spot that provides for the elite division. Though the ‘Bees’ are only 13th in the standings, they run just 6 points behind the 6th Derby County. There are 10 more rounds to play this season, and such a handicap is very doable within this time-span. In less than a month, Brentford will welcome the ‘Rams’ – the team should avoid dropping points, which will be challenging in the coming trip to Sheffield though.
As noted above, Sheffield are fighting for the automatic promotion to the Premiere League and they are on the go now. The side’s defense is outstanding; they don’t allow any opponents to approach their box. The attack is also fine: only 3 teams in the league scored more goals than the hosts. On their soil, the ‘Blades’ were victors in 12 of 18 matches and conceded only 3. The team won 7 previous clashes held at the Bramall Lane and kept their goal locked in 6 successive rounds. Mind, apart from outsiders and middle-class teams, Sheffield faced the 6th Derby County and the 5th Middlesbrough. This Championship, they overcame Brentford out, 2:3. Most likely, they will win tomorrow either – the homeside are too solid lately to drop points in the meeting with the 13th team in the league.
Prediction for the match: Sheffield United to win home.
