Meanwhile, on the previous Saturday, the Smoggies did make their home form count after beating Luton 2-1, with Paddy McNair and Duncan Watmore scoring.

Last Friday, the Blades failed to take full advantage of their home advantage as they were held to a 1-1 draw in stoppage time by Nottingham Forest, with Billy Sharp scoring the only goal of the game.

On the other hand, the team coached by the British Chris Wilder is also doing a good job, although they will have to tighten their grip to get into the playoffs, since today they are out of the playoffs in seventh position with 54 points, after accumulating 15 wins, 9 draws and 10 losses; they have scored 45 goals and conceded 35.

The team coached by the Englishman Paul Heckingbottom is having a good season, proof of which is that they are still in the possibility of promotion, as they are in sixth position with 55 points, the result of 16 wins, 7 draws and 11 defeats; they have scored 45 goals and conceded 36.

This Tuesday afternoon, in South Yorkshire, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough will meet for the second time this season, playing one of the two matches they have pending.
