Sheffield United head over to the Riverside Stadium this coming Saturday to face title favourites Middlesbrough in a round 4 match in the Championship.
The current difference in the Championship standings between the two teams clashing at Riverside Stadium this coming Saturday is nine points.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Middlesbrough and Sheffield United are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Riverside Stadium as the teams look to get one over each other.
Middlesbrough only average a modest 1.1 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 11 goals. They also conceded eight for an average of 0.8 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring four times.

Middlesbrough vs Sheffield United Prediction
Middlesbrough Form
Middlesbrough recorded two wins in their last three matches, but started off by losing 0-4 against Doncaster. They responded by beating Millwall 0-3, and followed that up by winning 1-2 against Norwich. Middlesbrough won four of their last six Championship matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded four and scored seven goals.
Sheffield United Form
Sheffield United endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 2-1 by Birmingham, before Swansea ran out 1-0 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Millwall, who came out 0-1 winners. Sheffield United claimed two wins against zero draws and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches reads six goals conceded and seven scored.
While tempted to go along with the straight away win for Sheffield United, we eventually settled for a more cautious approach. The double-chance or the draw-no-bet is our preferred choice against Middlesbrough.
