Bristol Rovers vs Sheffield Utd Prediction & Betting tips
The season for the Blades from Sheffield couldn’t be any worse. After all, a new negative record was set in the Premier League last weekend. Sheffield United also remained without a win in the 17th game of the current Premier League season, which also worsened the crisis at the Blades.
The team of head coach Chris Wilder is currently the hottest relegation candidate in the House of Lords, the gap to a non-relegation place is already twelve points. Before the league operations continue in the next week, the FA Cup starts for the Blades. The bottom of the Premier League table will be visiting Bristol Rovers’ Memorial Stadium.
Surprisingly, because the pirates from Bristol are not exactly among the strongest teams in League One. It would therefore be more than surprising if a forecast for the guests at Bristol Rovers vs. Sheffield United does not come true.
Bristol Rovers :
After a poor start to the 2020/21 season, Bristol Rovers has since parted ways with Ben Garner and has since continued the season with Paul Tisdale, formerly Exeter City’s head coach. Since then, the weak start to the season has been compensated, but the play-off hopes are gradually fading.
The deficit on the table places for the promotion playoffs is already ten points, the lead on the relegation places, however, only three points. Accordingly, staying up in league with the pirates has top priority for the time being.
In the run-up to the upcoming cup game, Bristol Rovers was able to build up a lot of self-confidence with four wins in the last five competitive games. The Pirates scored a total of 15 goals, Bristol Rovers only failed to score in the away defeat against MK Dons.
On Saturday, the team of head coach Tisdale still faces a mammoth task. Because even if the guests from Sheffield had a catastrophic start to the season, the quality on the defensive of the Blades is undisputed.
Given how weak the Pirates’ attacking division was in the first half of the season, it would by no means be absurd if Bristol Rovers were to miss the Cup game without scoring.
In League One, the table is 18. Meanwhile a record of 3-1-5 in nine home games. Tisdale will have no serious failures at the FA Cup. Compared to the youngest starting XI, no major changes are expected. If the third division team is surprised against the Blades, Bristol Rovers vs. Sheffield United’s attractive odds can be tapped for a tip on the home side.
Sheffield United :
Sheffield United are still in free fall, but a change of coach is not an option for the Blades. Most recently, long-time head coach Chris Wilder was given strength, a dismissal is therefore – at least according to the words of the Saudi Prince Abdul Aziz – out of the question.
If the downward trend continues in the next few weeks, it will probably only be a matter of time before relegation to the championship is sealed mathematically. With the recent defeat against Crystal Palace, Sheffield United recently set a new negative record, replacing QPR. For the first time in the history of the Premier League, a club remained without a win on matchday 17.
It was already foreseeable in advance that the second season after the ascent is known to be the hardest year, but the catastrophic record of the blades was not really to be expected. Neither in the offensive nor in the otherwise strong defensive could the desired accents be set so far.
A victory in the FA Cup would be all the more important for the blades. After all, a small defiant reaction can be shown before the important home game against Newcastle United, which takes place on Tuesday evening. In this competitive season there has been no cross-competition victory for Sheffield.
It cannot therefore be ruled out that the Blades will tackle the away game in Bristol with the best line-up. Due to injury, Wilder will only have to do without Berge, Robinson and O’Connell on Saturday. Even with a second guard, there should be enough quality in the squad to master the upcoming match in the FA Cup.
Accordingly, at Bristol Rovers vs. Sheffield United we hold a forecast on the guests – at least on the three-way market – without alternative.
