Peterborough United - Sheffield United betting tips and odds

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Peterborough United fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Sheffield United would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

Though Sheffield United are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 2.20 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

Peterborough United managed to scrape together a 2:2 draw at the end of their previous Championship showdown at Birmingham City , which came as a surprise to many. They were clear underdogs in this away game, so the lead they had at half-time was even more shocking.

Sheffield United’s performance in the first 45 minutes of their latest Championship match was quite underwhelming. This was in stark contrast to the decisive victory they carved out in the second half, though, ending their home match against Luton Town with an impressive 2:0.

Peterborough United have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Championship matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

The away team are seen as favourites despite their role as the visitors, and that makes a lot of sense considering the previous clash with Peterborough United they had. The Blades pulled far ahead of their opponents and secured a decisive victory.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.00, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
