Bristol City vs Sheffield Utd — Tips & Analysis

Bristol City -0.25: Sheffield United are falling apart, and that is the main reason we are on the home side. They have lost four of their last five, including 2-3 at Portsmouth on 14 October. They arrive on three days' rest with Choudhury suspended after a red card and Seriki out with a knee problem. Bristol City are the better team right now. Over the last four games they have made far more chances than Sheffield United and given up far fewer. Ashton Gate is a grind though. City have scored five goals in seven home games there, winning three and losing four. Chances will not come often for either side, so one moment should decide this rather than a flurry of goals. A 1-0 home win is the most likely score, and a single goal is all this pick needs. The risk is real. City score so little at home that 0-0 and 0-1 are both live results, and centre back Dickie is out with a knee injury. Sheffield United have still won 6 of their last 14 games overall, so this is not a bad side, just one in a bad run. We still want Bristol City, because they are the fresher team, they are the one making chances, and they are not the team missing a suspended man.
