Match highlights
PremiumMatch analysis
Two of Sheffield United's last four games have finished goalless, and that defensive record sits behind Superior's projection for the visit of Bolton in the Championship on 1 September. The model backs a 0-0 draw, with 0-1 the alternate score.
Two of Sheffield United's last four games have finished goalless
Both those 0-0s came alongside two wins in the same run, giving Sheffield United an unbeaten record without needing to score heavily, and their average of 1.3 goals a game is only a little ahead of Bolton's 0.8. Bolton's own form has produced one win, one loss and three draws across their recent matches, mostly tight, low-scoring results that line up with a projected 0-0 or 0-1 here.
Only one of Bolton's last five games has passed without a goal for them
Even a modest scoring rate has shown up in nearly every recent Bolton match, including a 2-1 win, which argues against a repeat of Sheffield United's two recent shutouts. LOSES IF: either side scores twice or more, or Bolton fail to score at all while Sheffield United do, since both outcomes sit outside the tight goalless range Superior has projected.
