Sheffield United take on the visitors Middlesbrough in the round 32 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 15th at Bramall Lane (Sheffield).
Sheffield United deserved to be considered as the one of the main contenders for promotion to the Premier League. The Blades not so long ago already made their way to the Premier League, and even stretched out there for a couple of years in a row. Then there was the expected decline, and only last season, under Paul Heckingbottom, it turned out to turn the tide. They even managed to climb to 5th place and take part in the playoffs, however, without the final success. But it is important that the momentum is not dropped, on the contrary. Now the club from Sheffield is fighting for the leadership with Burnley. In the previous round Swansea were not noticed and the Blades had scored 3 goals against them and extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches

Middlesbrough certainly doesn't regret trusting Michael Carrick. Boro relatively recently played in the Premier League. And even in 2006, they made their way to the UEFA Cup final. That's just after the relegation to the Championship almost permanently the team hung out there. It was a good last season, but after the summer holidays the club frankly failed. As a result, they decided to bet on the legendary football player with almost zero independent experience as a coach. As a result, by February it turned out to get into the group of leaders - they won the lion's share of the matches with Michael. They dealt with Cardiff in the last round without any particular problems, winning 1-3. A possible victory in upcoming match would give slight chances to Boro to compete for top-two, which is at the distance of 10 points at the moment. We should note that no teams in the league scored more goals that Middlesbrough since appointment of Carrick.
Last season, the teams exchanged confident home victories. In the current season, on the field of Middlesbrough, the teams have issued a spectacular 2-2. Blades is, of course, the favorite, but he has an interesting opponent, which is also on the move. We recommend betting on what will be "total over 2.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
