Both Teams to Score<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing both teams to score as neither side has kept more than 9 clean sheets this season, and both have averaged over 1.25 goals scored per match. Six of their last ten meetings have seen goals at both ends.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Sheffield United Draw No Bet<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Sheffield United\u2019s superior attacking stats (51 goals) and their 3-0 win in the last H2H. With both sides evenly matched in the table, the draw no bet option guards against a stalemate.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
