Sheffield United vs Norwich Analysis
Sheffield United
Sheffield United exited the FA Cup at the hands of Cardiff City (0-1) last weekend in a surprise defeat, though the Blades secured a significant 2-1 win at Watford in their last Championship test before that to move within one point of current league leaders Leeds.
United dropped points in each of their last two runouts at Bramall Lane in the Championship, however, they have won nine of their 12 league fixtures at that venue overall this season and their ability to dig out results on home soil is reflected in the markets ahead of Saturday’s clash with the hosts priced as favourites to win on the best football betting sites in the UK.
Team news: Ollie Arblaster is still sidelined for Sheffield United with a knee issue and will miss out again on Saturday.
Predicted Lineup: Cooper, Gilchrist, Ahmedhodzic, Robinson, McCallum, Peck, Davies, O’Hare, Brewster, Hamer, Moore
Norwich
Norwich were thoroughly outclassed by Premier League outfit Brighton (4-0) in the FA Cup last weekend, though their form in the Championship had been spiking before that heavy loss to Albion at Carrow Road.
The Canaries won three and drew one of their last four games in the division to strengthen their playoff bid, however, their prospects have been dented by a six-game suspension for top scorer Borja Sainz following a spitting incident in a game against Sunderland in December.
With Sainz sidelined, it’s easy to see why City have been opposed in the match result markets on betting apps for football.
Team news: Liam Gibbs, Jacob Soerensen and Gabriel Forsyth are all listed as injured for Norwich ahead of the weekend. Leading scorer Borja Sainz is suspended, meanwhile.
Predicted Lineup: Gunn, Fisher, Duffy, Doyle, Chrisene, Nunez, McLean, Marcondes, Schwartau, Sargent, Crnac

Sheffield United vs Norwich Prediction
Sheffield United got their title bid back on track with a hard-fought win over Watford in their last Championship fixture and the Blades can follow that victory up with another against Norwich.
City’s only win in their last nine assignments on the road came at relegation-threatened Luton and shorn of suspended 15-goal top scorer Borja Sainz, the Canaries are easy to oppose at Bramall Lane.
Prediction: Sheffield United to win – 57/50 (+114) – Fitzdares
Sheffield United vs Norwich – The Ultimate Bet:
Both teams to score – 79/100 (-127)
Norwich have scored at least once in each of their last six fixtures in the Championship and with key attacker Josh Sargent back from injury, the Canaries can maintain their goal-scoring streak at Bramall Lane.
Sheffield United failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last four games in league and cup with BTTS landing in three of the same games and it could be worth considering the same market at an attractive price of 79/100 (-127) with Fitzdares when the Blades host Norwich.
