Leeds vs Sheffield United Tips
Tip 1
These two teams share just a single loss between them after nine games, with Sheffield United still remaining unbeaten since suffering relegation.
Seven of their 18 joint matches have ended all square, so a stalemate feels appropriate between two evenly-matched teams.
Tip 2
Friday night sees two of the Championship’s strongest defences go up against one another.
Sheffield United are statistically the tightest having conceded only three goals, while only they, Burnley, West Brom and Swansea have conceded fewer than Leeds’ tally of seven.
Although the hosts have scored in six of their last seven league matches, the Blades have kept five consecutive clean sheets, indicating a low-scoring affair should be on the cards.
