In the previous one there is no clear favorite on this occasion, since the two teams are even and competitive in their actions. For this reason and even when the venue is just adapting to the category, we believe it can turn a goal in favor. Considering this and knowing that the visit almost always scores and yields goals due to its imbalance between the lines. Paint to be a duel with spaces and situations from the first half, since Sheffield and Crystal have a direct and vertical proposal when attacking.
Sheffield United :
The team arrives toned to this duel after equalizing 1-1 against Bournemouth in their league debut. That duel was fought and intense from the initial stage, noticing this at the end 0-0 the first half. Then the place went ahead on the scoreboard and was one step away from winning. However, Sheffield got parity and his first point in the competition with just a few minutes left for the final whistle.
At the moment he has shown interesting things in his proposal, being ideal to take advantage of the local factor to increase his offensive potential. On this occasion the headlines are expected to advance the lines at times, trying to capture a dynamic and vertical style when attacking.
This means using constant balls and head changes to be able to score. The stopped balls and the centers will also be fundamental for a humble team in their actions.
Crystal Palace:
The team began its walk in the English first division with a 0-0 equality against Everton at home. That game was fought from the tactical, but widely favorable to the “Toffees” from the technical. And we say this because he had 65% of the possession of the ball.
Now the objective of Crystal Palace is to maintain the defensive solidity shown in its league debut, since it was able to maintain the zero in its goal throughout those 90 minutes of play. In this outing, the headlines are expected to move backwards from the initial stage, since they will feel the “punch” of playing in the always complicated Goodison Park.
Therefore, most likely not attack so much and focus more on dialing. Of course, perhaps take advantage of some punctual action to score, not discarding that get it so play well or badly.
The last meeting held by Sheffield United and Crystal Palace took place in November 2010 for the Championship. That day, the local team won 3-2.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,76
