Aston Villa - Sheffield Utd Prediction, Picks and Tips
We start game round 31 of the Championship at Villa Park. The confrontation between the numbers nine and three of the rankings promises a lot of spectacle, as both teams will score this season. A preview!
On visiting Reading, Aston Villa once again failed to convince in the Championship. 0-0 was played at the dabbling relegation candidate. Top scorer Tammy Abraham missed some big chances and it turns out that if the young mercenary of Chelsea does not find the net, only sporadically score at Villa. Despite the disappointing result, positive words from the mouth of Villans coach Dean Smith sounded: "We are frustrated because of the result, but our game is at the level where I want to see it. Especially at the beginning of the second half I found ourselves very strong. ' However, the softening words of Smith can not hide the fact that The Villans are working on an extremely disappointing season. Villa is currently in ninth place and even has arch rival Birmingham City (8th) above him. The poor results of the past few weeks have resulted in the gap with the top six having grown to four points. Clubs like Hull City, Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City are also panting in the neck of the troubled team from Birmingham. Of the last seven games, only the home game with Ipswich Town was won (2-1). Against Sheffield United Villa now gets the chance to lift the total to two wins from the last eight duels.
After the victory of number two Norwich City at league-leader Leeds United, Sheffield United got the leading position of the Championship again in sight. In fact, since The Blades have yet to act against Leeds, direct promotion is entirely in their own hands. The Chris Wilder team has not been forgotten from the left row of the Championship since the promotion of a few seasons ago and now seems to be heading for promotion to the highest level of English football. Last weekend there was nevertheless a lot of pressure on The Blades. There was only one point from the last two league matches. Because Leeds and Norwich also failed, this turned out to have no major consequences for United. In the home game with Bolton Wanderers, however, points could not be lost again. In the first half United had a hard time with Bolton, but by two goals from the striker duo David McGoldrick and Billy Sharp in the second part of the game, they finally won at Bramall Lane. Winter gain Scott Hogan was on the bench, but noticed that his competitors did not need any help to do the job in the front.
