Sheffield Utd – Lincoln : Preview & Prediction
Confirm the hopes glimpsed against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup. This is Sheffield United’s objective ahead of their meeting with Lincoln Wednesday this evening, a team currently playing in League One. A win would give Paul Heckingbottom’s side a boost of confidence after a difficult start to their Premier League campaign, in which victory has been elusive since soccer returned to English soil. On a run of 3 consecutive defeats, including the one against the Citizens on Sunday afternoon, the Blades need to get back to winning ways against an opponent largely within their reach. A good result would be a good preparation for the league clash with Everton on September 2!
The Red Imps won’t be going to Bramall Lane to make up the numbers, however. Unbeaten in 450 minutes in the Kingdom, Mark Kennedy’s men will go into the game with a high level of confidence, which could greatly trouble the PL side from the kick-off. What’s more, the Lincolnshire-based club are coming off a 3-0 win over Blackpool last Saturday, so expect to see a squad full of certainties playing in Yorkshire this week. As you’d expect, if the red-and-blacks aren’t on their toes, there’s a chance of a surprise result at the end of normal time.
Sheffield United have now suffered 2 consecutive home defeats in the PL (2-1 / 1-0).
Sheffield United won the last meeting 6-0 in 2022.
Lincoln are unbeaten in 5 TCC matches.
Lincoln has won 2 out of 3 away games since August 08 for a total of 2 clean-sheets!
