Under 2.5 Goals
The prediction for Under 2.5 Goals at 61.80% is supported by both teams’ recent performances, where they have prioritized defensive solidity over high-scoring affairs. Middlesbrough’s home advantage might give them a slight edge, but Sheffield United’s disciplined defense could stifle their attacking efforts, keeping the goal tally low.
Both Teams Not to Score
