Why We’re Backing Sheffield United to Win to Nil @ 2/1 with AK Bets
- Bristol City have struggled to break down Sheffield United’s defence in recent seasons.
- On four of the last five occasions these two have met at Bramall Lane, the Blades have kept a clean sheet.
- The only time Sheff Utd failed to keep out the Robins during that period was last term, when the visitors scored a last-gasp equaliser.
- City have lost their goal threat in Nahki Wells during the summer.
- Ruben Selles strengthened Hull’s defensive discipline when leading them to safety and he can make the Blades strong at the back.

Player to Watch
Tyrese Campbell is one of Sheffield United’s most potent attacking threats, evidenced by the 11 goals he scored in all competitions last season as he topped his club’s scoring charts.
The 25-year-old is quick and powerful, making him a handful for opposition defences, and he will be eager to pick up from where he left off after scoring the Blades’ only goal in the play-off final defeat to Sunderland.
