Swindon vs Sheffield United Predictions

Having fought hard to earn a 3-2 win away from home against Oxford last Tuesday, Sheffield United enjoyed a break on Saturday and come into this one with the benefit of extra rest. Against a Swindon team who’re already their inferiors, this could be telling.

After losing out to relegation-rivals Port Vale at the weekend, Swindon are well and truly embroiled in the battle for survival – a battle that, at this moment in time, they’re losing.

Given the way these two have been going of late, it’s hard to fancy the hosts here. The bet that catches the eye is ‘Sheffield United to Score Over 1.5 Goals’. The visitors have been in fine scoring form both lately and overall this season and should be capable of hurting a Swindon team who conceded three goals last time out.

Having found the net a total of 37 times away from home this season, it hasn’t been often than Sheffield United haven’t been able to outclass their opposition from an attacking point of view. Chris Wilder’s men have scored at least twice in 14 of their 18 away matches. Whatever view you take, that’s pretty impressive going.

Swindon have been fairly useful from a defensive point of view at home this season, conceding just 17 goals but, having conceded three in a very important match at the weekend, they could be low on confidence, while Sheffield United have often made light work of scoring against even the best defences in this division.

With League One’s top marksman Billy Sharp in their ranks, the visitors have the perfect focal point to their attack, not to mention several other forward-thinking players who compliment the big man up top nicely.

Quite frankly, although they may be in the same division right now, these two look to be heading in different directions and Sheffield United can show their class by adding another couple of goals to their ever-growing tally.
