Sheffield United have struggled at the start of the season, suffering three defeats in the league and an EFL Cup exit to Birmingham. Despite an improved display in their narrow 1-0 loss to Millwall, the Blades’ blunt attack remains a concern. A tough away trip to an in-form Middlesbrough side could add to their early frustrations.
MatchPlug Prediction For Middlesbrough vs Sheffield United
Sheffield United’s slow start will be tested further against a Middlesbrough side full of confidence. Edwards’ men have kept three clean sheets in four matches this season, while the Blades continue to struggle in front of goal.
Final Prediction: Middlesbrough Over/Under
