Sheffield United Preview – Can Blades make it four on trot?
Sheffield United head into this 1st leg of these Championship play-off semi-finals on the back of three wins on the trot as The Blades secured their top six finish with wins against Cardiff City, QPR and Fulham – the latter being a comprehensive 4-0 victory over the Championship title winners.
Sheffield United will also take some beating at Bramall Lane where the hosts have lost just once in their last 15 games which includes a staggering 12 clean sheets but they’ve only beaten Forest once in the previous six meetings.
Nottingham Forest Preview – Can Forest hold firm in 1st leg?
Nottingham Forest will prepare for a third away game on the trot in the Championship when they make their way to Bramall Lane for this vital 1st leg clash against Sheffield United, but the visitors will also fancy their chances having lost just two of their last 17 matches overall.
Forest have won 11 of these 17 games overall, while on the road, the Tricky Trees have lost just two of their previous nine outings on their travels and have collected wins at Blackburn Rovers, Blackpool, Peterborough United and most impressive of all, a 1-0 win at Craven Cottage against Fulham.
