Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Liam Manning and Chris Wilder to batten down the hatches here, but we do not expect a flood of goals as Bristol C and Sheff Utd go head-to-head. The statistics belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think that's a good shout here. With best odds of 1.80 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we're recommending.
