What to expect

We expect about 1.0 goals from Fleetwood Town and 1.7 from Sheffield United, so Sheffield United come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.8 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Fleetwood Town come into this on two straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Sheffield United to win. Sheffield United shade this one on the numbers (xG 1.0-1.7), and we make them about 65% to win. They look the better bet on the road, and backing them outright is the straightforward way in.

We put the chance of that landing at about 63 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.66, which works out at about 60 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
Fleetwood Town are unbeaten in their last five — two wins and three draws.
Sheffield United are unbeaten in their last five — two wins and three draws.

Bournemouth are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.0-1.0), and we make them about 70% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
