Sheffield United - Norwich City predictions

Sheffield United are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Norwich City may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with The Blades, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The odds of 2.67 did not exactly see The Blades as favourites to win their last away game in the Championship. However, the hosts rose to the occasion and recorded a narrow Watford victory after a stalemate in the first half.

The Canaries’s previous home outing ended in triumph, but the road there wasn’t easy. Their opponents Coventry City took the lead in the first half, leaving Norwich on the back foot despite the initial 2.25 odds on a home win. Their luck was much better later on, though, resulting in a narrow 2:1.

These two teams have shown to be evenly matched throughout the season. They’ve recorded multiple draws since the competition began, which doesn’t sit well with The Blades because they’re the favourites. They’ll have a shot at finally getting a positive score, though.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Vinicius Costa, Femi Seriki, Harry Souttar, Jesuran Rak-Sakyi, Tyrese Campbell will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 3.39 odds offer a decent return.
