Nottingham Forest VS Sheffield United
Nottingham Forest host Sheffield United at City Ground early Wednesday morning Beijing time for this second leg of Championship semi-finals. The stakes are massive as promotion to Premier League would be worth at least tens of millions of euros, perhaps even more! Sheffield United, in fact, played at the highest-level last season, but their level was simply not enough, despite doing well in the previous season. However, I still see them having a genuine chance for a return..
Nottingham have been surprisingly good this season and I have of course raised their power rating as the season has progressed, but the betting market respects them too much already! I am still not quite convinced if Steven Coopers mostly inexperienced men are mentally ready to be promoted.. Moreover, I think Cooper is an over-rated manager! In terms financial resources the visitors are bigger. Their squad’s market value is also higher, and the difference should be in my opinion more than listed on a respected German website Transfermarkt.com.. Many of hosts’ players are over-valued – with the visitors the opposite is true! As a whole, the hosts over-performed during the Championship “regular” season. The finished as high as 4th, Sheffield Utd were 5th. The hosts failed to win two of their latest regular season matches. The visitors, on the other hand, took three impressive wins! The visitors definitely have the potential, especially offensively to raise their level! Today they need a win as they lost the first leg 1-2 at home. They were unlucky indeed as they had 61% ball possession and recorded much more completed passes, attacks and dangerous attacks. Today the need to win but a draw would bring my fans and me yet another winner! I expect them to put big pressure on the hosts’ defense which is not as good as widely thought. The risk is of course that the visitors take huge risks if the score is level in the last a few minutes and Nottingham get chances for counterattacks but we just have to accept this. Even in this situation I think the hosts will not try to attack too much but defend with all 11 men instead! The hosts are only small favorites here.
