Sheffield United vs West Bromwich Albion - Cagey and Restricted at Bramall Lane

On Tuesday 2 February, Sheffield United host West Bromwich Albion at Bramall Lane. It's a game between two teams in dire need of points and it seems plausible that both teams would rather safeguard one point than gamble for three, possibly the home team at some point defending a 1-0 lead whatever the cost.
I also firmly believe that the odds on the under markets will drop bit by bit between now and kick off, so get on board sooner rather than later!
