Sheffield United - Leeds United predictions

The 4.12 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

If everything goes according to plan and Leeds United put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Not many punters were surprised when Sheffield United won the previous round 0:1. They may have been the visitors, but most predictions and bookies saw them as the stronger team. While they failed to gain a convincing advantage in the first half, the second half decidedly went their way.

Even though Leeds’s previous Championship match was a 2:1 victory, their performance against Sunderland was far from perfect. Considering they had both home advantage and a favourable matchup, the fact that they spent most of the match playing from behind is worrisome.

The Blades have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

Leeds won this matchup last season, leading most bookies to mark them as the favourites this Monday. More importantly, it was a very convincing victory, and they likely won’t be satisfied with anything less than a 2-goal lead again.

Gustavo Hamer, Kieffer Moore, Thomas Cannon will not be able to play for the hosts this Monday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

The visitors clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, which is made even more sure thanks to the presence of their entire roster. They’ve had no injuries or suspensions recently, leaving their lineup intact for the game.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
