Fleetwood Town vs Sheffield United prediction
Sheffield United cannot afford to take Fleetwood Town lightly here despite two leagues separating these two clubs. The hosts have nothing to lose and with home advantage in their favour, won’t be afraid of their Championship opponents as they press and look to take the fight to the Blades from an attacking perspective.
Whilst Sheffield United have the better players, Fleetwood could well suffocate them with a high-energy showing off the ball and you would expect them to have their chances. An upset shouldn’t be ruled out and it’s worth potentially exploring the double chance market in favour of Fleetwood.
Fleetwood Town vs Sheffield United tip: Double chance - Fleetwood Town/draw
