Sheffield United vs Coventry City Tips
Tip 1
These two sit 3rd and 1st in the form table respectively over the past six matches, with both teams losing just once across this sample size.
The Sky Blues have recorded an impressive 13 wins from a possible 23 with Lampard in the hotseat, although this record will be firmly put to the test against a battle-hardened Chris Wilder who is very familiar with high-end Championship fixtures.
The hosts have only drawn seven of their 38 league games this term, however, three of those have come in head-to-head encounters with the league’s top six clubs and their record of 1-3-4 in these matches suggests they might not have the faculties to claim all three points on Friday.
Tip 2
Bramall Lane will play host to a tight contest whichever way the pendulum might swing, and in this case we believe the spoils will be shared between two teams with similar objectives between now and the remainder of the campaign.
Chris Wilder’s men have displayed a great amount of defensive resilience so far, achieving 20 clean sheets in the league, with 11 of those coming on home soil.
In Coventry’s case, they’ve been highly regarded in front of goal since Frank Lampard took charge, however, an impressive shutout in their 3-0 win over Sunderland last time out is evidence of similar defensive competency.
These two will be desperate to maximise their takings from this contest, but not at the expense of coming away empty handed, which means we are likely to see them cancel each other out in multiple areas, including set-piece situations and looking to control possession in the opposition’s half.
Sheffield United Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Blades return after a nine day hiatus looking to add to their four game winning streak which they’ve assembled since being put to the sword by league leaders Leeds United towards the end of February.
Chris Wilder has no fresh concerns to deal with, as long-term absentees Oliver Arblaster and Jamie Shackleton remain sidelined and therefore unavailable.
Sheffield United Predicted XI: Cooper; Seriki, Ahmedhodzic, Robinson, Burrows; Choudhury, Peck; Brereton, O’Hare, Hamer; Campbell.
Coventry City Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Frank Lampard is on a similar tear with his Coventry City side, who’ve come out on top in six of their last seven contests after being dumped out of the FA Cup by Premier League outfit Ipswich Town at the beginning of February.
The Sky Blues are still without the same three faces for the trip to South Yorkshire in the form of Raphael Borges Rodrigues, Ben Wilson and Jack Rudoni.
Coventry City Predicted XI: Dovin; van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva; Torp, Grimes, Allen; Sakamoto, Wright, Mason-Clark.
