FA Cup - Sheffield Utd vs Middlesbrough Football betting preview

Sheffield United have been shocked to get to this position of the FA Cup, and now with Bryan Robson sacked and Kevin Blackwell in the hot seat, its going to be difficult for them to get back into a winning way after a thrashing last week against Preston with a 3-0 beating.

Boro have been great in recent weeks, and are looking to secure their place in the next round of the competition and with Alves and Downing signing contracts, they should be looking to create an impact in this game with a secured win.

Boro would also be pleased that news has come that Egyptian International Mido is also fit to join the squad and could make an appearance in this fixture.

Gary Speed is now a major doubt for the Blades who are already struggling in all areas of the pitch and languishing just above the relegation zone in the Championship. I think Boro should see of this game as the Blades have more important fish to fry and secure themselves in the division for next year.

For the reason of Boro's indifferent form, we shall take a half win/half draw bet at these amazing odds.
