Sheffield United - Burnley predictions

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 26/12/2024 played @ Bramall Lane refereed by Oliver Langford

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Burnley are still on the table.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Burnley are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

Sheffield United played away in the previous round, and their supporters can only be happy with the strong second-half performance. They were deemed favourites before kick-off but admittedly needed some time to get into gear. Once they started pulling ahead, though, they ended up recording a 0:2 win.

The Clarets went into their previous Championship matchup as both the hosts and the clear favourites, so it’s no surprise that they ended up winning. They took an early lead and held onto it for the remainder of the proceedings, ultimately snagging a narrow but clear-cut 2:1 victory.

The Blades’s attackers don’t seem to need a home-field advantage when it comes to scoring. With 6 goals in their last three away games, it’s hard to find issues with their attacking play.

Burnley have seen a lot of success in the past few rounds. Namely, all 3 of their latest away games ended in victory, and we can be sure that they’ll be looking to extend the streak.

A brief look at last season’s record reveals a consistent pattern of dominating victories of The Clarets over The Blades. That said, the hosts are the favourites in this game according to most bookmakers, despite the fact they consistently lost with a goal difference of at least two.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Thursday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

The 1.57 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
