Sheffield United face a difficult test on Sunday when they welcome fellow promotion-hopefuls Wolves to Bramall Lane for Championship action.
This was a Premier League fixture back in the 2023/24 campaign and both teams won on home turf that season.
Now fighting it out in the Championship, both the Blades and Wolves have made a solid start in their quest for promotion and this clash in the Steel City should be an entertaining watch.
Sheffield United v Wolves Tips Summary
Best Bet - Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score @ 1/1
Alternative Bet - Fer Lopez anytime goalscorer @ 9/4
Bet Builder - Ladislav Krejci 2+ fouls committed, Sydie Peck to score or assist & Rodrigo Gomes 1+ shots on target @ 18/1
Sheffield United v Wolves Prediction
Best Bet: Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score @ 1/1
With United collecting nine points from six games and Wolves managing just one point fewer but having played a match less, it is hard to pick a winner between two evenly matched teams.
It may be best to stay away from the match result market and instead look to the goals market, with backing over 2.5 and both teams to score the headline selection.
After starting the season with three clean sheets, the next five games for the Blades have taken a different turn, with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals landing in each contest.
Head coach Chris Wilder's side have shown their attacking prowess across those five matches, scoring at least twice in four of those, but no clean sheets and nine goals conceded show where the issues are.
Wolves have been one of the most entertaining teams to watch this season and all five of their Championship fixtures have produced at least three goals with both teams scoring.
Wanderers have plenty of attacking options to call upon and their tally of 13 goals scored is one of the best records in the division, but they have also looked fragile at the back.
Wolves have not kept a clean sheet in their last nine league matches away from home and they will struggle to keep out a United side who have netted at least once in 19 of their last 20 fixtures at Bramall Lane.
Alternative Bet: Fer Lopez anytime goalscorer @ 9/4
Fer Lopez has been a key player for Wolves this season and he scored his fourth goal of the campaign in the draw against Birmingham.
Three of the Spain U21 international's goals have come away from home and he can get on the scoresheet against the Blades, who have not kept a clean sheet in five matches.
Sheffield United v Wolves Bet Builder Tip
Ladislav Krejci 2+ fouls committed
Sydie Peck to score or assist
Rodrigo Gomes 1+ shots on target
Pays 18/1
Wolves defender Ladislav Krejci returned to action in the draw at Birmingham last weekend and he committed three fouls at St Andrew's.
The Czech Republic international looks capable of making at least another two fouls against the Blades, who will be hoping Sydie Peck can put in another starring performance.
The midfielder has registered two assists and scored one goal in his last three appearances and he can add to either of those tallies on home turf.
Wolves forward Rodrigo Gomes has managed at least one shot on target in three of his last five matches and he can test the goalkeeper out again.
