With 62 goals scored and 62 conceded from their 44 Championship matches this season, Sheffield United are averaging 2.81 goals per game, which is one of the highest figures in the Championship.
Chris Wilder’s men are sitting comfortably mid-table, with no concerns of relegation, but also no hopes of qualifying for the playoffs, so they have released the handbrake in recent weeks and have played with a bit more freedom.
Preston are actually level on points with the Blades as we approach the final two matches of the campaign, so have a similar mindset coming into this clash. While they have been less expansive than Sheffield United, Preston have seen over 2.5 goals land in six of their last nine matches.
The reverse fixture between these sides in October finished 3-2, and there is every reason to expect another entertaining encounter at Bramall Lane here.
