In my opinion Newcastle have really good chances to make at least one point in this match up.

Newcastle have excellent streak against Sheffield. They won last 5 league matches in a row against them. In previous season Newcastle won 2:0 here at Bramall Lane and 3:0 at home. Newcastle won last 3 matches at this stadium.

I believe Newcastle have huge advantage in fitness department. At the weekend Newcastle played in FA Cup against Arsenal and Steve Bruce rotated squad very well - only 5 players which played in last Premier League match against Leicester started against Arsenal. Key players like Darlow, Schar or Fernandez were rested. Other key players like Lewis, Wilson or Shelvey are available for today's match after small break. On the other hand Sheffield played against third-level team Bristol Rovers. For me that was very irrational, but manager Chris Wilder played with the best possible line up. 10 players which played against last Premier League match against Crystal Palace started against Bristol. Sheffield as well have serious problems with absences - key central Berge (1 goal and 1 assist in 13 matches), key striker McBurnie (1 goal in 13 matches), striker Mousset (6 matches), key central defender O'Connell, important central defender Robinson (8 matches) and key left midfielder Stevens (14 matches) are unavailable today. Key right midfielder Baldock (16 matches) is doubtful.

For me is very hard to see Sheffield as a favorite of this match. They didn't won Premier League match since July. Currently they have run of 20 rounds without a win. At the weekend they won 3:2 against poor Bristol in Cup, but that shouldn't change a lot. On the other hand their defense once again looked very poor, but it's nothing new - Sheffield in current season conceded at least one goal in all 17 Premier League matches. Newcastle top striker Wilson should make a lot of troubles for them - he scored already 5 goals in away matches in current season. Sheffield is poor at home - they lost 7 of 8 home matches so far (last 5 in a row).

Of course Newcastle as well don't have any kind of good streak, but they played in last matches against much stronger teams than Sheffield. They were able to stop Liverpool (0:0) or played close match against in-form Leicester (1:2). This is important match for Newcastle manager Steve Bruce - Sheffield was first club in his managerial career. He have great record against them - 7 wins in 10 matches and only one loss.

I trust for Newcastle.

在我看来，纽卡斯尔有很好的机会在这场比赛中至少得一分。

纽卡斯尔在对谢菲尔德的比赛中表现出色。他们在过去的5场联赛中都赢了他们。上个赛季，纽卡斯尔在布拉莫尔巷主场2:0取胜，在主场3:0取胜。纽卡斯尔在这个球场赢了三场比赛。

我相信纽卡斯尔在健身方面有很大的优势。周末纽卡斯尔参加了对阿森纳的足总杯比赛，史蒂夫·布鲁斯轮换的非常好——上赛季对阵莱斯特的比赛中只有5名球员首发。像达洛、沙尔和费尔南德斯这样的关键球员都得到了休息。其他关键球员如刘易斯，威尔逊或谢尔维在休息后可以参加今天的比赛。另一方面，谢菲尔德的对手是三级球队布里斯托流浪者。对我来说，这是非常不理智的，但是主教练克里斯·怀尔德使用了最好的阵容。10名在上一场与水晶宫的比赛中出场的球员在对阵布里斯托尔的比赛中首发。谢菲尔德也有严重的问题缺席关键中央Berge(1目标和1协助13场比赛),关键前锋McBurnie在13场比赛(1球),射手Mousset(6场比赛),关键的中卫奥康奈尔,重要的中后卫罗宾逊(8场)和关键左前卫史蒂文斯(14场比赛)今天不可用。关键的右中场巴尔多克(16场比赛)出战成疑。

对我来说，谢菲尔德很难成为这场比赛的热门。他们自7月以来就没有赢得过英超联赛。目前，他们已经跑了20个回合都没有赢过。在周末的冠军杯比赛中，他们3:2战胜了可怜的布里斯托尔，但这应该不会有太大的改变。另一方面，他们的防守再次看起来很糟糕，但这并不是什么新情况——谢菲尔德在本赛季英超17场比赛中至少丢了一个球。纽卡斯尔的顶级前锋威尔逊应该会给他们带来很多麻烦——他在本赛季的客场比赛中已经进了5个球。雨刷伯在主场表现很差-他们目前在8场主场比赛中输了7场(最近的5场)。

当然纽卡斯尔也没有什么好的表现，但是他们上一场比赛的对手比谢菲尔德强得多。他们既能击败利物浦(0:0)，也能与状态良好的莱斯特队(1:2)交手。这场比赛对纽卡斯尔主教练史蒂夫·布鲁斯来说很重要——谢菲尔德是他执教生涯中的第一家俱乐部。他在对他们的比赛中有很好的记录——10场比赛7胜，只输了一场。

竞彩选择让球负。
