Sheffield United vs Watford Predictions

• Five of Sheffield United’s last seven games have gone under 2.5 goals
• Watford are yet to win away from home
• Five of the last six head-to-heads have gone under 2.5 goals

Low-scoring affair likely

Sheffield United have had a remarkably bad start to the season, losing eight of their first nine games, and they currently sit bottom of the Championship table.

Goals have been their biggest issue, they have only scored three in those nine matches, and another low-scoring affair may follow when they host Watford, who have also already changed manager since the start of the season.

Javi Garcia has returned for his second spell at the Hornets, who sacked manager Paulo Pezzolano despite the fact that they are solidly midtable after three wins, three draws and three defeats from their nine matches.

Meetings between these two tend to be low-scoring matches, five of the last six have gone under 2.5 goals, and this one may be no different.

Watford have hardly been prolific, scoring 11 times in nine games, and this game looks set to go under 2.5 goals, particularly with Watford getting used to Garcia’s playing style.

Five of the Blades’ last seven games have produced fewer than three goals and a repeat of that is fancied in this clash at Bramall Lane.

The visitors have drawn two of their last three games and correct score backers should keep a 1-1 stalemate on side.
