Have a loss-proof Sheffield United wager!
Both Sheffield United and Crystal Palace head into Saturday's televised Championship tie stuck in the bottom six but with renewed optimism after taking significant strides forward in their last two games.
The Blades turned around a run of three successive defeats by holding Leicester and winning at Millwall, however Palace's improvement is even more encouraging, as in addition to delivering two home victories in a week, their away form has picked up.
Having failed to net in their first five, the Eagles have scored six in their last three, even managing to take three points in one of them.
For the hosts, their recent success on the road won't boost morale too much because they still have the issue of a dreadful home record to resolve. They've collected just one of the last 12 points available to them at Bramall Lane and have won only twice there all season. Despite that, Gary Speed's side can be laid at [2.1], or alternatively the visitors can be backed at odds of [4.2].
