Betting on Sheffield United
Sheffield United was awarded a second opportunity in the current FA Cup, and everything appears to be in their favor for them to take advantage of it on Tuesday.
The Welsh fifth level team was held to a three-goal draw by Paul Heckingbottom’s team, who will now play the replay in front of their home crowd, where they have excelled this season.
With 58 points, Sheffield is second in the Championship rankings and is headed for promotion to the Premier League after passing Middlesbrough, who is now in third position, by 10 points.
When it comes to their performance at home, they have only lost two of 14 league games at home and have not lost in front of their own fans for the last seven games, thanks to the fact that they have scored 30 goals, the second highest number in the championship.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Adam Davies; Anel Ahmedhodzic, John Egan, Chris Basham; Jayden Bogle, James McAtee, Oliver Norwood, Tommy Doyle, Max Lowe; Oliver McBurnie, Iliman Ndiaye.
Betting on Wrexham A.F.C
Wrexham was just minutes away from defeating Sheffield United until a 95th-minute equalizer averted one of their most significant victories in their lengthy but challenging history.
After missing that opportunity, the side that competes in the Nations League, or England’s fifth division, must now travel to a venue that has been highly hostile to opponents this season.
Wrexham is doing well in the league championship: they came in second with 68 points, which puts them on pace to advance to the fourth division promotion semifinal and puts them only three points behind first place, which grants straight promotion.
On the road, they have not disappointed either, being the second-best club in their division with 32 points from 16 games and with only 16 goals conceded in those games; this is a clear example of why they are the team with the fewest goals conceded in the fifth division with only 24.
Possible lineup (3-4-1-2) Mark Howard; Jordan Tunnicliffe, Aaron Hayden, Ben Tozer; Anthony Forde, Thomas O’Connor, Luke Young, Callum McFadzean; Elliot Lee; Ollie Palmer, Paul Mullin.
JefeBet Prediction
The late goal in their last match against Sheffield United demonstrated that Wrexham would find it tough to retain any results at their opponents’ challenging venue.
While Wrexham is a great way from Sheffield and won’t have the same luck as when they played at home, the Sabres are one of the top teams in the Championship and everything points to their returning to the Premier League shortly.
It’s true that the fifth division team may have the greatest defense in its circuit, but Sheffield is a goal scoring powerhouse against clubs of a far higher caliber, and they will undoubtedly not pass up the chance to face Tottenham in the following round.
Prediction: Sheffield United to win (SHU 2 – WRE 1).
