SUFC Blades to bag the points on south coast?

AFC Bournemouth and Sheffield United meet in one of the clashes of the day in League One today with both sides in good form.

The two meet on the south coast today separated by just one point, with Bournemouth second and the blades fourth in the table.

Bournemouth suffered a surprise 2-0 defeat at Preston North End last weekend, one of only two defeats in twenty-two games since Eddie Howe returned as manager in October.

The blades have put a disappointing first month of 2013 behind them by winning their last three games to get right back in the promotion race.

Bookmakers Paddypower make Bournemouth 23/20 favourites to claim the three points whilst Sheffield United are 12/5 and it is 11/5 on the draw.

Brett Pittman recently returned to Bournemouth from Bristol City. The striker has netted 9 times in 15 games since his return and he is 7/2 to score the first goal today.

Lewis Grabban is the cherries leading goalscorer this season with 13 goals and he is 7/2 to open the scoring.

United have recently signed Barry Robson. The experienced midfielder scored the opening goal last weekend in his first start since joining the club and he is 10/1 to repeat the feat today.

Midfielder Kevin McDonald scored his first goal of the season last weekend and he is 18/1 to score first today.
