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!

The Blades are experiencing a nightmare second season in the first tier, the South Yorkshire outfit currently rock bottom with only 8 points from 19 games. However, there are some positives for Chris Wilder and his team picking up 4 wins in the 5 most recent games (all competitions).

When Sheffield United faced bottom 6 teams last season, there was on average 1.58 goals scored in total per game, 83% of the games ending with less than 2.50 goals.
