What to expect

We expect about 1.6 goals from Sheffield United and 1.1 from Derby, so Sheffield United come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Sheffield United or Draw. This covers Sheffield United or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 74 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.26, which works out at about 79 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Sheffield United have won one of their last five.
✓Derby have not won any of their last five.
✓Three of the last five meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
✓Both teams scored in two of the last five meetings.
