SHEFFIELD UTD have played three games since top scorer and talisman Ched Evans was jailed – and they haven't won any.
However, they have been scoring goals with their last two games ending in 2-2 draws. But the loss of Evans probably cost them automatic promotion and could hurt their chances in the play-offs.
Stevenage have battled through despite losing Graham Westley to Preston midway through the season and are on a decent unbeaten run that took kept them in the top six on the final day.
The Blades are 4-5 with Betfred to qualify but I'm sticking my neck out and backing Stevenage at 23-20 at sportingbet. They beat United 2-1 at home earlier this season and it's vital they take a lead to Brammall Lane.
Stevenage are a best 11-8 with William Hill to win tonight while Danny Wilson’s visitors are slight outsiders at 2-1 with BetVictor.
Skybet make the draw 23-10 while a repeat of their recent 2-2 draw pays 16-1 with Ladbrokes. Both teams to score is a 4-5 chance with William Hill.

2-2 tonight again with st patricks, over 2.5 altoch(austria) & cordoba -1. 80/1
st pat’s, over 2.5 altach and cordoba win 5/2 treble.
random picks from twitter tipsters as only 1 game here.
Craig, had we look at the Irish games earlier but so much to do I didn’t get a chance to do a write-up. However, I’ve backed St Pat’s at home to Cork.
Went over 2.5 goals in this playoff at evens.
st pat’s should win and was tempted to -1 at 2/1 but just played safe(r). 2 early gl in altach game too so gd start.
maybe a silly question but will the irish league still play in the summer with ireland playing in euro’s.
Craig, there will be no Irish league games during Euro 2012. I think they take a three-week break.
