Sheff. Utd. - Leicester by: Kuki
Bookmakers in England disagree about this fixture.
Bet365 top the market on the home win offering nice odds of 2,20 while others (Stan James, Skybet or Blue Square)are as short as 1,83. I think
Bet365 are quite "wrong" here and I recommend to take advantage of such a price as long as it stands. Why? Sheffield United were relegated from the Premiership and their coach Robson never got them going in the Championship. They are playing a poor season, no doubt about that. Robson was finally sacked (too late) and Kevin Blackwell has taken over. He needed a bit of time but the Blades have found great form recently. Their run of 4 straight wins came to and last Saturday away to the other form side Preston North End. That defeat all but ended any outside chance of reaching the play-offs. Nevertheless I strongly fancy them to finish that disappoining year in style. Leicester City on the other hand won an important home tie against Scunthorpe last weekend but still are in danger of relegation. Already today coach Ian Holloway announced that his side will be down to the bare bones at Bramall Lane on Saturday. Definitely out are Stephen Clemence, Lee Hendie and Barry Hayles. Iain Hume, Jamie Clapham and Kelvin Etuhu are all receiving treatment for injuries and are doubtful. Leicester have a lot more to play for than the hosts but that is of minor importance in Great Britain. Small stakes are recommended on special bets here as well. 7 units for this one!
