Sheffield United and Derby County will lock horns at Bramall Lane on matchday 12 of the EFL Championship. Both sides scored in their two league meetings last season, and their defensive vulnerabilities in the current campaign suggest goals could flow once again; hence, our prediction is for BTTS.
Sheffield United have picked up 15 points in 11 games this season. This has them occupying 11th place, two points behind the top eight.
The Blades are in a confident mood after snatching three points from Bristol City on the road. Ollie Arblaster scored the only goal in the first five minutes, leading the team to a narrow 1-0 win.
Despite that result, there is plenty of room for improvement as Chris Wilder's charges have won just two of their last five Championship games (L3).
Derby County could find themselves in a relegation battle if not careful. At present, the visitors are languishing in the bottom two with six points and are nine points adrift of safety.
Victories have been few and far between. The Rams are winless in their seven Championship games and have managed to pick up two points during this unwanted run.
Head coach John Eustace couldn't guide his side to victory over the weekend against Stoke City. In front of the home supporters, the team succumbed to a 1-0 defeat. That marked their second consecutive loss.

Our Sheffield United vs Derby County Prediction
Sheffield United were not that clinical in the final third in their win over Bristol, but they should be able to right their wrongs with a more convincing display. Home has been their safe haven in this fixture as they've won four of their last five Championship home games with both teams scoring in two.
Derby County, however, won 3-1 in their final match at Bramall Lane. Despite boasting the league's third-worst defensive record, they should be capable of exploiting Sheffield's vulnerabilities and getting on the scoresheet. Our Sheffield United vs Derby County prediction: BTTS.
