Sheffield Utd vs Bolton — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.75: Neither of these teams can find a goal at the moment, and that is the whole case for the quieter game. Sheffield United have tied all three of their Championship games so far. United sit 14th on three points with a goal difference of zero. They score more than a goal a game and let in about the same, so nothing about them says goal rush. They are also without T. Chong and R. One, the latter with a hamstring problem. Bolton have been quieter still away from home. They have scored under a goal a game across their last seven away trips. Their only Championship away game this season was a 0-0 at QPR. Put the two together and there is very little here. Their last seven meetings averaged just over 2 goals. Neither attack has made much more than a goal a game over their last three games, so the chances for a shootout are not there. A 1-0 looks the likeliest score, and it probably comes late. One goal decides plenty of games between sides this careful. The one worry is Bramall Lane. Sheffield United have let in 2 goals a game at home lately, which is worse than their away record. Bolton also score plenty in their own stadium, so they are not this quiet everywhere. We still expect a tight, low scoring night.
