Predictions

Sheffield United are in poor shape right now. They have lost four of their last five games, and the only win in that run was a narrow one-goal victory. Southampton haven't been much better, with three losses in their last five, though they did manage a win and a draw recently, so they look a little steadier. When these two met before, one game finished with a couple of goals and the other had three, so recent meetings haven't been especially quiet.

Both teams are struggling for consistency, which makes this look like a tight, close match rather than an open one. Given Southampton's slightly better recent form compared to Sheffield United's slump, Southampton look the more likely side to come away with the win.
