Blades to win it to nil
Yeah, we asked the question in our opening paragraph about whether or not Sheffield United would win this game or not and we believe they will – and they'll keep a clean sheet too. The Blades haven't lost in seven and with their good form built on a solid backline. During their seven game unbeaten run they've only conceded a Rita of three goals keeping a clean sheet in five games. Combine that with the fact that Swansea have lost three of their last five games whilst blanking in each of those defeats and you can see where we're coming from.
At least one side fails to score
We've already backed Sheffield United to win to nil so there is some shared logic between that tip and this one. The elements we haven't yet touched on around why a both teams to score ‘no' bet is a decent idea are a) Swansea have beaten a promotion contender – Blackburn – to nil in recent weeks and b) Sheffield United have failed to score in their last two. Their lack of goals won't last forever but this is a nice – although not guaranteed – safety bet.
