Sheffield Utd vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips (9 February)

After suffering two successive defeats against Charlton 1-0 and Southampton 1-0, Sheffield United got back on track by winning twice at home against Ipswich 3-1 and Oxford United last week 3-1. Thanks to this good dynamic, the Blades regain some ground in the race for 6th place, qualifying to participate in the playoffs for accession to the elite. 2nd at the start of this day with the same number of points as leader Coventry, Middlesbrough is in indecent form with 5 consecutive victories in the league, against Southampton 4-0, West Brom 2-3, Stoke City 1-2, Preston 4-0 and against Norwich on the previous day 1-0.

A nice boost of energy from Boro who remained on a very bad phase of 4 days without a victory for 3 defeats against Bristol City 2-0 and Derby 1-0 and at home for the arrival of Hull City 0-1.

At Sheffield United, midfielder Tom Davies, Sam McCallum and defender Jairo Riedewald (played by Crystal Palace) are injured and should be forced to withdraw. On loan from Ipswich, Ogbene scored his first goal in his new colors in the victory against Oxford. Midfielder Sydie Peck (4 goals, 1 assist in the league) and Andre Brooks (4 goals, 2 assists in the league) also scored against Oxford. Thomas Cannon (4 goals, 1 assist) and Gustavo Hamer (2 goals, 7 assists in the league) should answer the call. No less than 5 Middlesbrough players could remain in the infirmary due to physical problems.

We think of M.Kaly Sene (2 league goals), Darragh Lenihan and defenders Alfie Jones, George Edmundson and Alex Bangura. The only scorer in the clash with Norwich, Hayden Hackney (4 goals, 5 assists in the league) will be there, like Morgan Whittaker (11 goals, 5 assists in the league) without forgetting to mention Tommy Conway (6 goals, 2 assists in the league).
