Sheffield United vs Swansea City Betting Tips: UNDER 2.5

Only two points stand between the two teams as they prepare for the eighth round of action, but Sheffield Utd is expected to create a gap from their midweek rivals with a win, even if it comes by a slim margin, since neither side has excelled in the attacking phase.

Chris Wilder's men have made their intentions clear about an immediate return to the English top-flight, as they stand as one of only two Championship teams unbeaten to date, claiming four triumphs and drawing three times to sit in the last playoff spot.

With only three shipping goals in seven matches, the Blades can boast the best defensive record in the second division, and following the weekend's dull 0-0 stalemate at Portsmouth, they have now recorded four clean sheets on the bounce.

Regarding Swansea City, they relinquished their chance for a third straight league victory in Sunday’s home clash against Bristol City by settling for a 1-1 draw in the final moments, but at least they managed to maintain their unbeaten streak during this period.

Given that they have scored more than two goals in only two matches out of the opening seven, it is evident that the Swans are lacking sharpness in the attacking department, and their total tally of eight goals makes them the least efficient team among the top-half sides.

It is important to note that Sheffield and Swansea find themselves at the bottom of the table when it comes to match efficiency, as the former has not seen more than two goals in six straight second-tier fixtures, while the latter has managed just one match out of their last six with over two goals.

With the Blades having registered back-to-back 1-0 wins against Watford and Derby County at home, and Luke Williams' side going scoreless in two of their last three away league fixtures, we think the odds favor a tight, low-scoring contest where one goal could settle the outcome.
