Bournemouth U21 vs Sheffield Utd U21 tips and predictions

Interesting match-up in Professional Development League

What happens here is anyone's guess. The inclination of this write-up is towards the home win but if they're lacklustre then who knows. They can get the job done though.

Bournemouth U21 have had some good results in the build up to this match. The hosts have got 9 wins under their belt from their last 13 home games while the travelling side has pulled up short at times. They've lost 2 of their last 4 matches, home or away. This doesn't look like the recent record of a team that will fancy their chances.

The hosts have had some superb spells in previous performances. Bournemouth U21 scored two or more goals in 13 of their recent 15 matches and that's been backed up throughout their ranks. The records show they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 home games.

Sheffield Utd U21 have actually conceded three or more goals in 2 of their last 4 matches. It's going to be fascinating to see how much of their improvements they leave on the training paddock.

It's possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side starts the match more brightly. The betting markets imply that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they can both be dangerous in attack. It's all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense here.
