Blackpool vs Sheffield United Predictions

• Blackpool are the worst disciplined side in the Championship with six red cards.
• Sheffield United have collected a league high 23 away points.
• None of Sheffield United’s last 18 year ending league games ended level.

Blackpool are in real trouble

Michael Appleton’s Blackpool reign could be coming to an end before long if he can’t improve upon a current seven-game winless run which has seen them fall into the relegation zone.

The most recent game was a perfect opportunity to leapfrog a relegation rival, yet another red card seen their disciplinary issues continue to be their undoing.

 Blackpool are winless across their last 11 league games to end a specific calendar year and are winless in 13 of their last 15 meetings with the Blades.

The Tangerines are unbeaten in three of their five home league games when priced up as outsiders, but they may struggle to build on that after firing three straight home blanks

Back the Blades to come up trumps

Sheffield United have won all four games since the World Cup break and enter this round level on points with Burnley at the peak of the table. Playing away won’t bother Paul Heckingbottom’s men too much either as they’ve picked up a league high 23 points on their travels.

We’re backing Sheffield United to win this one with confidence, although we’re going for a more tentative selection on a 3-1 away win in the correct score market to complete our selections for this Championship encounter.
