Both teams are now in a situation where they are rolling with the punches to the end of the season. There is not much at stake except for vibes to go into the off-season with. Roy Hodgson picked up his first win as Bristol City manager on Good Friday in a ding-dong battle with Charlton. That will do the confidence of the players a world of good, and I expect them to be able to carry a level of threat in this match.
It was actually the first time since the 30th August at home to Hull that City had generated over 2 xG in a match, which perhaps indicates that they are prepared to play with a touch more freedom than they were able to understand Gerhard Struber.
On the other hand, it was also the 12th match in a row that they allowed their opponents over 1 xG, which is a great thing for this bet.
Sheffield United have become somewhat chaotic at this stage. From a comfortable 3-1 lead against Swansea on Good Friday, they managed to let that slip to draw 3-3. That made it five matches in a row that BTTS has landed for the Blades, and it fits in perfectly with the overall opinion that they are somewhat loose at the moment.
Similarly to City, the Blades have now allowed their opponents over 1 xG in seven consecutive matches, and also in seven consecutive away matches too. Their xG averages away from home also indicate high-chance matches, 1.61 v 1.7. I think the chances of entertainment and goals are high at Ashton Gate.
