Key Players
- Zan Vipotnik leads the way in front of goal with 17 Championship goals from 37 appearances this season.
- Patrick Bamford has nine goals in 21 appearances in the second tier and could be a real danger for the Swans here.
- The likes of Hamer and O’Hare are integral to the creative build-up and setting up the wide overloads.
- The likes of Josh Tymon’s energetic runs from full-back are pivotal to Swansea’s transition game, with Matos’s side often more proactive than reactive.
Betting Insights
Sheffield United’s odds of 1.86 to win the home matchup on Friday seem a bit low considering the Swans have failed to win on their two most recent visits to Bramall Lane, despite the hosts having fewer points overall.
Prediction
Swansea’s pressing style will test the structure of Wilder’s side, but the fact the visitors are in a rut at the moment could be enough for the more disciplined Blades to nick it.
