What to expect
We expect about 1.1 goals from Blackburn and 1.2 from Sheffield United, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.3 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Our pick: Not both teams to score. This shapes up as a quiet, low-key game — around 2.3 goals between the two (xG 1.1-1.2). One side keeping it tight for a clean sheet is well on the cards.
We put the chance of that landing at about 48 out of 100. There is no settled price to hold that up against yet, so treat the call on its own terms.
