Bramall Lane hosts Sheffield Utd vs Wrexham on Friday evening, a Championship fixture between two sides whose recent results have left plenty to be desired.
Chris Wilder's Sheffield Utd sit 12th on 16 points, comfortably mid-table but short of the standard a squad featuring Kalvin Phillips and Ben Brereton Díaz should be setting.
Phil Parkinson's Wrexham are 17th on 14 points, and the Red Dragons keep losing ground on the play-off hopefuls they expected to be keeping company with.
History says goals. Sheffield Utd have seen over 2.5 goals in their last six matches against Wrexham in all competitions, but neither side arrives in shape for another shootout.
Sheffield Utd vs Wrexham Form
Sheffield Utd have taken seven points from the last 12 available, and last time out summed them up. Patrick Bamford's equaliser salvaged a draw with Derby, but only after the visitors had a man sent off. That is not a side in rude health, and they have won 4 of their last 10 matches against all opponents.
Wrexham have won just two of their last eight Championship matches, and a defeat at Blackburn last time out did nothing to stop the slide. Away from home they look short of conviction, with four straight league outings on the road without a win. Kieffer Moore remains their go-to man, but he cannot carry this side on his own.
Sheffield Utd vs Wrexham Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Sheffield Utd: Jamie Shackleton (Injured/out), Ryan Oné (Injured/out), Mark McGuinness (Injured/doubtful), Matt Doherty (Injured/doubtful), Patrick Bamford (Injured/doubtful)
Wrexham: Josh Windass (Injured/out), George Thomason (Injured/out), Max Cleworth (Injured/out), Nathan Broadhead (Injured/out), Liberato Cacace (Injured/out, unfit)
Sheffield Utd
The main call in the Sheffield Utd vs Wrexham lineups comes in the home attack. Ryan Oné has suffered a setback in training and misses out, while the Blades will check on Patrick Bamford after he picked up an injury against Derby. Romelle Donovan should replace him in the starting XI.
Wrexham
Ben Sheaf and Danny Imray could both be recalled for the trip to Bramall Lane. Even with Sheaf back available, Wrexham still have five injuries to contend with, and losing Josh Windass and Nathan Broadhead thins out their options in the final third.

Sheffield Utd vs Wrexham Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Our Sheffield Utd vs Wrexham prediction is a 1-0 home win. The Blades are only slight favourites at 11/8 (AK Bets), but Wrexham's injury list and their struggles away from home tip a messy, low-scoring contest towards the hosts.
Best Bets
Under 2.5 Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The model projects about 2.48 goals. The first of our Sheffield Utd vs Wrexham best bets ignores the lively history, because the projected total sits just under the line and the Oddschecker AI gives Under 2.5 an implied probability of 54.86%. Two out-of-form sides and a depleted Wrexham attack point to a stubborn evening rather than a shootout.
Both Teams To Score: No. Wrexham have several attackers injured, and the model has Sheffield United as slight favourites. With Josh Windass and Nathan Broadhead both sidelined, Wrexham lean heavily on Kieffer Moore, and a Blades clean sheet sits neatly alongside our 1-0 call. Our numbers have this one close to an even split, yet the prices on offer imply less than that, which is exactly where the value lies.
Sheffield Utd vs Wrexham Bet Builder
Our Sheffield Utd vs Wrexham bet builder tips take a bigger-price angle, combining Liam Kitching to be carded, Kieffer Moore over 2.5 shots and to score, plus over 1.5 home cards.
Liam Kitching to be shown a card. Three bookings from five Championship outings tells you how often the centre-back lands in the book, and a direct Wrexham front line will keep him busy all night.
Kieffer Moore over 2.5 shots. Moore has let fly with 3+ shots in every one of his three most recent Championship games, so he gets his efforts away even when Wrexham are toiling.
Kieffer Moore to score. The striker has hit the net in two of his latest three league appearances (Championship), and if Wrexham are to breach Bramall Lane at all, he is the man who does it.
Over 1.5 Sheffield Utd cards. The home-team cards line has landed in 7 of their last 8 matches, and Kitching's disciplinary record only adds weight to it.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 17/1 and is as short as 10/1 elsewhere.

Sheffield Utd vs Wrexham Talking Points
Callum O'Hare makes an immediate return to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield Utd, the club he left for Wrexham in September, and he arrives in shooting mood, having tried his luck 3+ times in four of his previous five Championship games. Wrexham will badly miss Josh Windass, who has found the net in two of his three most recent Championship outings against Sheffield United. On the touchline, Chris Wilder and Phil Parkinson go back a long way, having started out together as teenage apprentices at Southampton.
