Fulham vs Sheffield: preview and betting tips

Fulham welcome Sheffield United in the 23rd round of the EFL Championship. A clash between two teams that played in the Premier League last season could mess with the head of the table. What to expect from the match?

Fulham have struggled after an excellent start to the season, drawing the last four rounds, including three 1-1 draws. Nevertheless, it remains first in the table, with a two-point lead over Bournemouth and a game to spare.

For Sheffield, the season is going the other way. In the first weeks it looked like a fight for salvation, now the second league newcomer is only four points away from ninth place thanks to three wins in a row.

The whole of Europe is amazed by the performance of Aleksandar Mitrovic, the Serbian playmaker scored twenty-two times and added five assists. Summer signing Harry Wilson is also doing well, scoring six goals and assisting seven times.

Guest icon Billy Sharp continues to shine, the thirty-five year old forward has six goals and six assists so far. Young central midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is improving all the time, he has had a hand in nine goals (5+4).

Fulham have the sovereign best attack. He has scored fifty-one goals, the second best in this respect has ten less shots. At the same time, it has the most solid defence, in twenty-two games it has only scored eighteen goals.

Sheffield have worked on their defensive phase, conceding a single goal in their last four games. The goal difference is currently at zero, The Blades have scored twenty-eight times and have chased the ball out of the net.

Given the excellent form of Aleksandar Mitrovic, I think Fulham will end the streak of draws and win.
