Sheffield United - AFC Bournemouth betting tips and odds

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Sheffield United is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for AFC Bournemouth.

A 1:0 HT/FT victory in the last round might not have been enough of a crowd-pleaser, knowing that Sheffield United were widely expected to land a more convincing win. It’s still a job well-done and there is no doubt Sheffield United will have enough confidence in their ranks for the Saturday clash.

Bournemouth played the previous round at West Bromwich Albion, and most online bookmakers considered them to be at a slight disadvantage. That slight disadvantage quickly turned into a harsh 2:0 after they spend the entire match playing from behind.

Sheffield United are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

The Cherries netted 6 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

Sheffield United have a narrow defeat on record from earlier in the season. With home-field advantage, however, they’re expected to win this showdown – at least as far as the bookies are concerned.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
