Bristol Rovers Sheffield United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Given what we discussed earlier, the possibility of a game with few goals is great. It is true that Sheffield United plays currently in the Premier League, however, it faces a very complicated opponent. Still, it is important to note that the two clubs share the same weakness, the offensive sector. In this way, we imagine a very closed game and with few moves of danger, making risking in favor of "Over 3 Goals" a good option.

Analysis Bristol Rovers

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round) after having eliminated: Darlington and Walsall. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 25 conceded. In their last match, for the League One, they got a home win against Blackpool by (2‑1). In the last 10 home matches Bristol Rovers has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 18 of the last 20 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 13 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 20 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Bristol Rovers comes to this clash with a 2-1 home victory over Blackpool, in a game counting for the English third division: the team's goals were scored by Sam Nicholson and Brandon Hanlan. In the previous FA Cup qualifiers, the home team beat Walsall and Darlington. In this match against Sheffield United, manager Paul Tisdale should play in the usual tactical system, the 4-3-3, with Erhun Oztumer, Sam Nicholson and Brandon Hanlan being the most offensive references of the team: the last athlete mentioned is the great highlight of this Bristol Rovers team, with 8 goals scored. For this match the home coach can not count on Anssi Jaakkola due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Joe Day, Alfie Kilgour, Jack Baldwin, Luke Leahy, Max Ehmer, Erhun Oztumer, Edward Upson, Zain Westbrooke, Luke McCormick, Brandon Hanlan, Jonah Ayunga.
Coach: J. Barton.

Analysis Sheff Utd

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 3 draws and 11 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away loss against Crystal Palace by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Sheffield United has tied 1 and lost 9. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sheffield United comes to this match with a 2-0 away loss to Crystal Palace, thus registering the third defeat in a row in official matches. On this trip to the Bristol Rovers arena, coach Chris Wilder should act with an offensive strategy, that is, press hard and immediately attack the opponent's goal. To inform that the visitors have great competence in fast transitions: Ben Osborn is very fast and expert in transporting the ball to the attack. Out of this game are Jack O'Connell and Sander Berge due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Aaron Ramsdale, Ethan Ampadu, Chris Basham, John Egan, Jayden Bogle, John Lundstram, Ben Osborn, Oliver Norwood, John Fleck, Lys Mousset, David McGoldrick.
Coach: P. Heckingbottom.
