THE PREDICTION
A huge day is in store for Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder as he returns to boyhood club Sheffield Utd whom he guided from L1 all the way to the Premier League in the space of just three seasons. Since arriving at Middlesbrough he has overseen a revival that has taken the Teesiders into the play-offs places with 16 points accrued from the last 18 available to them. However, in Sheffield Utd, he faces a side also going through a renaissance under a new man in charge, with Paul Heckingbottom having guided the Blades to four straight Championship victories. With both teams in excellent form, a close contest is expected here, which is likely to see neither take any unnecessary risks offensively that could see them caught out at the other end of the pitch. With that in mind, a low scoring encounter should be on the cards with under 2.5 goals scored for what would be the fifth game in seven involving Sheffield Utd well worth backing.
*This match has since been postponed due to a series of Covid-19 cases within the Middlesbrough squad.
