PREVIEW
There was nothing to separate the clubs in the first leg as a game with little meaningful action finished goalless. It leaves everything to play for at Bramall Lane and Sheffield United will fancy their chances with home advantage.

Sheffield United have really been hit by the losses of Ched Evans and now James Beattie after his red card at Exeter. The draw in the first leg was the third straight game without a win for the Blades, but their home form has generally been strong, with only three defeats since August.

Stevenage continued their excellent run of form that saw them sneak into the play-offs on the final day of the season. The stalemate on Friday evening saw that Stevenage have now only lost once in 17 league games, with 11 of those ending all square. Much of their good work has been on the back of a solid defence that only Charlton bettered.

Without the Blades’ top two strikers, it’s hard to see where the goals are coming from. Stevenage have the quality at the back to limit the hosts’ new look front line and nick something at the other end. The visitors have now drawn two and won one of the three meetings with the Blades and that will boost confidence amongst the squad.

At around 2.93 on BETDAQ, Stevenage are worth backing to qualify and take another step closer to the Championship.

RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Back Stevenage to qualify at 2.93: 4 points

Sunday Return: +7.68

MAY RETURN TO DATE: +15.65
