Coca-Cola Championship football betting - Barnsley vs Sheffield United
By Matt Knowles on 2009-11-09 18:45:53
Barnsley host Sheffield United tonight in the Championship and a win would see the hosts overtake their local rivals in the table. United have been woeful of late, winning only once in their previous nine games and conceding twenty-one goals in that period, most recently losing 1-0 at Newcastle in a game which also saw their captain booked, meaning he will miss today`s game through suspension. Barnsley have won four of their last six, winning at Peterborough last time out.
The hosts are favourites for tonight`s game at 13/8 (bet $80 to win $130 profit), leaving Sheffield United as underdogs at 9/5. The draw is priced at 12/5, although Barnsley have only drawn twice in their previous fifteen games. Sheffield United have won the previous four meetings between the two teams.
The bookmakers believe the teams are very evenly matched and make a 1-1 draw the most likely result at 6/1. A 1-0 win is priced at 8/1 for both teams, followed by 2-1 to Barnsley at 10/1 and 2-1 to Sheffield at 11/1. A goalless draw is 10/1 and 2-2 is 16/1.
Daniel Bogdanovic has been made joint-favourite to open the scoring tonight at 7/1, along with team-mate Andy Gray and twenty year-old Barnsley striker Ched Evans. Darius Henderson, who has scored five goals already this season in fifteen appearances, is 8/1 to score the first goal tonight for the visitors.
Both teams tonight are priced at 4/1 to be winning at both half-time and full-time, and the same price is available for both halves to be drawn. Barnsley to win after drawing at half-time is at 5/1 and Sheffield to do the same thing is 11/2. Sheffield United are 33/1 to come from behind and win after trailing at the interval.
Sheffield United`s dreadful recent form has seen their odds for the Championship title from 9/1 at the beginning of the season to 50/1 now. Barnsley are even less likely, priced at 400/1.
