Sheffield Utd vs Blackburn Prediction & Betting tips
This week Carabao Cup competitions are again scheduled in England. In the second cup tournament in England, the year after year is bursting with surprises. Perhaps Sheffield United or Blackburn Rovers can surprise this season in the Carbao Cup. On Tuesday-evening, the two teams face each other on Bramall Lane.
Sheffield United:
Sheffield United will play in the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup this season. Exactly this order reveals where the priorities are at a club like Sheffield United. The Blades promoted to the Premier League last season and will need all the powers not to relegate from the Premier League, with the result that the tournaments for the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup come on a second and third plan. 130-year-old Sheffield United has already won the FA Cup four times in the past, but remarkably, The Blades has never had any success in the League Cup.
Last Saturday, Sheffield United lost the first official game of the season. The Blades had a good start to the Premier League with a 1-1 draw at AFC Bournemouth and a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. The second race on Bramall Lane was only lost to the men of Chris Wilder, as Leicester City was 1-2 too strong for The Blades on Saturday. Extra acid was that the first goalkeeper of Leicester City, Jamie Vardy, was born in Sheffield and is a fan of Sheffield United. Vardy is a big name in England today, but of course it wasn’t in the past. Nor is Sheffield United expected to come up with many big names on Tuesday night against Blackburn Rovers, because the Carabao Cup is not (yet) the priority for the club from the steel city.
Blackburn Rovers:
At Blackburn Rovers they have already played some games this season. The Championship is already five games on the way and Blackburn also played a duel for the Carabao Cup. That match was scheduled two weeks ago and Blackburn Rovers managed to shake Oldham Athletic off with pain and effort: 3-2. Just before time, the formation of Tony Mowbray faced a 1-2 deficit but thanks to goals in the final minutes of Stewart Downing (former Liverpool player) and Joe Rothwell, The Rovers managed to qualify for the next round.
Mowbray didn’t play with his best team against Oldham Athletic two weeks ago. He did that in the first five league matches of Blackburn Rovers and those duels earned a total of seven points for The Rovers. Blackburn started the season with defeats against Charlton Athletic (1-2) and Fulham (2-0), but has already been unbeaten three league-games in a row. After the victories at Middlesbrough (1-0) and Hull City (0-1), The Rovers played a scoreless draw against Cardiff City last Saturday. So we can say that Blackburn struck with difficult opponents so early in the season, but Mowbray has taken quite a few points with his team.
