- 米德尔斯堡六人队；最近七场比赛的进球数都低于2.5个
- 在谢菲尔德联队，2.5球以下是获胜的赌注；最近九场比赛
- 刀锋队在周中的比赛中拥有本赛季锦标赛中第二好的防守
预计将有一场激烈的河滨战役
米德尔斯堡队的目标是在对阵谢菲尔德联队时结束两场连败，谢菲尔德联队上一次在本赛季的锦标赛中首次被利兹联队击败。
Boro在最近对阵布里斯托尔城的比赛中未能进球，他们本赛季的比赛往往得分较低，因为在迄今为止的10场联赛中，他们只进了10分，只丢了9分。
Boro的六名球员；谢菲尔德联队在过去的七场比赛中也只有不到三个进球，谢菲尔德联队的情况也是如此，他们最近的九场比赛都在2.5个进球以下。
只有伯恩利在周中的比赛中拥有比刀锋队更好的冠军防守，而这场在河滨球场的比赛不太可能进几个球。
难以分裂对手
Boro可能输掉了最后两场比赛，但他们上次输给布里斯托尔城是他们本赛季在联赛中的第一次主场失利。
迈克尔·卡里克预计他的球队将在周三做出回应，而当谢菲尔德联队在2022/23赛季最后一次交锋时，博罗确实拿下了四分。
自1997年10月以来，刀锋队还没有在客场战胜过Boro，但他们的状态比东道主好，尽管上次输给了利兹联队，并且能够带着战利品离开河滨队。
本赛季双方都以1比1战平，米堡主场对阵普雷斯顿，谢菲尔德联队主场对阵诺维奇，所以如果这是周三的最终比分，不要感到惊讶。
- Six of Middlesbrough’s last seven games have featured under 2.5 goals
- Under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in each of Sheffield United’s last nine games
- The Blades boasted the second-best defence in this season’s Championship heading into the midweek fixtures
Tight Riverside battle expected
Middlesbrough will be aiming to end a two-game losing streak when they take on Sheffield United, who were beaten in the Championship for the first time this season by Leeds last time out.
Boro failed to net in their most recent fixture against Bristol City and their matches have tended to be low-scoring this season, as in their 10 league games to date they have scored 10 and conceded only nine.
Six of Boro’s last seven matches have also featured fewer than three goals and it has been a similar story for Sheffield United, whose last nine fixtures have gone under the 2.5 goal mark.
Only Burnley boasted a better Championship defence than the Blades heading into the midweek round of fixtures and this clash at the Riverside is unlikely to produce more than a couple of goals.
Difficult to split rivals
Boro may have lost their last two games, but their defeat to Bristol City last time out was their first home setback in the league this season.
Michael Carrick will expect a response from his side on Wednesday and Boro did take four points off Sheffield United when the teams last locked horns during the 2022/23 campaign.
The Blades have not won away to Boro since October 1997, but they are in better form than their hosts, despite their defeat to Leeds last time out, and are capable of leaving the Riverside with a share of the spoils.
Both sides have been involved in 1-1 draws this season, Boro at home to Preston and Sheffield United at Norwich, so do not be surprised if that is the final scoreline on Wednesday.
