Sheffield United vs Bristol City Bet Builder Tip Reasons

Both teams to score: This could be an exciting encounter at Bramall Lane. Both teams have new managers at the helm, and Bristol City have scored a bagful of goals in pre-season. Sheffield United have also been potent in front of goal through pre-season, including the most recent 3-2 defeat to Nice. Hopefully, we’ll get a game filled with goals as we kick off the new Championship season. Gustavo Hamer to have 1+ shots on target: Hamer was one of the star men for Sheffield United last season and they’ve done well to hold onto him so far during this transfer window. He scored in the play-off semi-final against Bristol City at the end of last season. We’re predicting an open game here so all the attackers have the potential to have a shot on target, but with set-pieces also set to be the responsibility of Hamer, he is the selection. Emil Riis Jakobson to have 1+ shots on target: Bristol City will be hoping their new signing can get off to a good start this weekend. He was at Preston last season and scored 12 goals and scored twice in the pre-season win over Plymouth Argyle. He looks the most likely of the Bristol City players to trouble the Sheffield United goalkeeper. Ross McCrorie to be carded: McCrorie finished last season with three cards in his last seven matches, and in those games he made 4, 3 and 2 fouls. He is expected to play left wing-back again this season and that position is always going to be prime for getting cards, especially for teams who are expected to be on the back foot in matches.
