Match Prediction-IND vs AUS 2nd ODI, Betting Tips and Match Prediction
In the midst of their strong campaign in the Championship, in which they have occupied a spot in the top two for almost the entirety of the season thus far, Sheffield began their FA Cup journey with a trip to Millwall in the third round and secured their progression with a 2-0 victory.
That saw them book a round-of-16 tie at home to Tottenham Hotspur, and after the game remained goalless for 79 minutes, Iliman Ndiaye netted the only goal off the bench to fire the Blades to a surprise victory and into the final eight. The victory was then followed by a trip to Sunday’s opponents, in which they fell to a 1-0 defeat, and despite their recent inconsistency in the bid to seal a top-two finish and automatic promotion this season.
Foderingham; Ahmedhodzic, Egan, Robinson; Bogle, Berge, Norwood, McAtee, Lowe; Ndiaye, McBurnie
Their visitors, also heavily involved in the fight for promotion to the Premier League this season, began their own FA Cup campaign with a trip to Norwich City and progressed with a 1-0 victory courtesy of Jack Vale’s goal, before again meeting Championship opposition as they were drawn against Birmingham City in the fourth round.
They followed that up with a 1-0 beating of the Blades, thanks to Harry Pickering’s early goal, to strengthen their position in the Championship top six, and after a defeat away at Stoke City, they now head into the cup tie on the back of an important 2-1 victory at home to Reading on Wednesday, thanks to Ryan Hedges’s decisive 82nd-minute goal after Ben Brereton Diaz had initially opened the scoring in the second minute.
Pears; Rankin-Costello, Hyam, Carter, Pickering; Travis, Morton; Dolan, Szmodics, Brereton Diaz; Gallagher
Although their form has been somewhat inconsistent in recent weeks, Sheffield United will be boosted by Wednesday’s victory, and in what promises to be a close-fought encounter, we think they have the quality to come out on top on home turf.
Sheffield United 2-1 Blackburn Rovers, predicted by us.
