Sheffield United return to Championship after a dismal campaign in the top flight of English football.
We back them to dispatch Preston in the first round on Friday evening at Deepdale at the 2.35 odds.
Expecting a tight affair, we alternatively go for the Under 2.5 goals pick at the 1.90 odds. Sheffield United are also 8.50 to win 1-0 on the opening day.
Despite a horrendous Premier League run last season, Sheffield United are one of the main candidates for the Championship title this time around.
The Blades have enjoyed a strong pre-season campaign, managing four wins and a draw in five clashes. They drew 1-1 at Huddersfield in the final check last Friday.
Preston were 10 points shy of promotional playoffs in the previous Championship term.
They ended a three-win thread in the pre-season with a tough 0-3 defeat at the hands of Everton on Saturday.
Sheffield United go into this on the back of two successive victories over Preston. We will back the visitors at the 2.35 odds.
Sheffield United have been tough to break down in the pre-season. They shipped just three goals in the last four exhibitions.
We all know how the Blades can be tight under Chris Wilder, especially in the Championship.
Preston will find it hard to threaten Ivo Grbic on Friday and we can see the value in backing the Under 2.5 goals pick at the 1.90 odds.
Preston failed to find the net in a 0-3 defeat to Everton six days ago. We see the value in backing the visitors to win 1-0 here at the attractive 8.50 odds.
