⭐ Editorial Prediction
Sheffield have been struggling to find the back of the net, and the return of Chris Wilder hasn't changed that - after all, his focus has always been on defensive solidity. Therefore, we're not expecting a high-scoring affair in this match, and it wouldn't surprise us if it ends goalless. A 0-0 draw seems quite plausible, so our primary bet is on Sheffield scoring under 1.5 goals.
