The Match
Preview
Sports Mole previews Sunday's Championship clash between Middlesbrough and Sheffield United, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Middlesbrough 1-1 Sheffield United

Sunday's contest is certainly one of the picks of the Championship games this weekend, as two sides hopeful of, at least, earning a top-six finish square off, and we cannot quite pick a winner. Partially down to Wilder's influence at both clubs, the setups are largely similar, and we anticipate then cancelling one another out in a competitive affair and sharing the points. Read more.
