Back our 28/1 Sheffield United vs Birmingham Bet Builder
Patrick Bamford 1+ shot on target
Patrick Bamford scored from one of his five attempts on goal against Mansfield Town in the League Cup and was a strong pick in the shots market throughout last season.
He had 35 shots on target in 29 appearances, hitting the target at least once in 25 of these fixtures and in 21 of his 22 starts, including each of his last nine outings for the Blades.
Carlos Vicente to have 2+ shots
Carlos Vicente emerged as a regular starter towards the end of last season, and the Birmingham attacker had 11 shots in his final six games.
The 27-year-old had two shots against Swansea in the League Cup last weekend, leaving him with an average of 1.86 shots per game since he broke into the starting lineup.
Callum O’Hare to be fouled 2+ times
Callum O’Hare was fouled five times in Sheffield United’s opener against Mansfield last time out and only Femi Seriki drew more fouls than the 28-year-old last season.
O’Hare was fouled 60 times across all competitions and has drawn two or more fouls in each of his last three competitive appearances, totalling 12 fouls drawn in this period.
Jay Stansfield to commit 2+ fouls
Jay Stansfield was Birmingham’s leading fouler in the Championship last season, committing 70 offences and averaging 1.92 fouls per 90 minutes.
He kicked off the new campaign with four fouls committed against Swansea and has been reprimanded at least twice in six of his last nine appearances for the Blues.
Japhet Tanganga to be shown a card
Japhet Tanganga committed a Sheffield United-high 50 fouls in the Championship last season and only the departed Gustavo Hamer received more yellow cards than the former Tottenham defender.
Two of his nine cautions came against Birmingham, and he was booked in three of his final five games of the campaign.
