Betting on Sheffield United
Sheffield United needed just one goal to overcome Tottenham in the FA Cup round of 16 to reach this stage. Now, the team will want to replicate the formula to leave an opponent of the same category on the road. The team has had mixed results in its recent matches in all competitions. So, it will be looking for back-to-back victories after two weeks.
Actually, its last home game ended in a 1-0 loss to Luton Town, but it has only two defeats in the last 10 home games in all competitions. This proves the fact it has been a strong team when playing at home. In fact, its two FA Cup matches against Wrexham and Tottenham are part of that aforementioned record.
Possible lineup (3-5-1-1): Wes Foderingham; Chris Basham, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Jack Robinson; George Baldock, Ismaila Cheick Coulibaly, Tommy Doyle, Andre Brooks, Iliman Ndiaye; James McAtee; Billy Sharp.
Betting on Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn Rovers also had luck on its side, since it knocked out a Premier League opponent in the previous stage of the FA Cup with a 1-2 win over Leicester City. Therefore, it is now in the quarterfinals as a representative of the Championship and will be looking to continue advancing. That victory is part of the last 10 matches the team has held in all competitions, where it has lost only one, which was precisely away against Stoke City by 3-2.
In fact, all three of Blackburn Rovers’ FA Cup games this year have been on enemy grounds, which will boost the team’s confidence going into the upcoming match. Regardless of the result, Blackburn has allowed goals in eight of its 10 most recent away games in all competitions, a dangerous trend heading into this crossover.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Aynsley Pears; Joe Rankin-Costello, Hayden Carter, Dominic Hyam, Harry Pickering; Lewis Travis, Tyler Morton; Ryan Hedges, Sammie Szmodics, Tyrhys Dolan; Sam Gallagher.
JefeBet Prediction
In the Championship, Sheffield United has 10 points more than Blackburn in the standings, indicating that it has been better in the season. But that’s not all, the red and white team has four consecutive home wins in all competitions against the blue and white team.
Therefore, the favorite from this Sheffield United vs Blackburn Rovers to get into the semifinals is Sheffield, although it is likely that both teams will get on the scoreboard and complete the over.
Prediction: Sheffield United wins by a score of 2-1.
