Sheffield United - Preston North End betting tips and odds

Sheffield United might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Preston North End are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Sheffield United and the 6.35 odds given to The Lilywhites to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

The Blades are coming on the back of a successful home game against West Bromwich Albion, which they handily won 2:0. The entire goal difference was secured in the second game of the match, much to their supporters’ elation. Still, failing to pick up the pace in the first half despite their status as favourites might be indicative of some issues with their current form.

The away team ended the previous league matchup with a 1:1 draw, and the two teams were neck-to-neck throughout the game. The 3.00 odds didn’t exactly favour Preston, so the fact that a home game ended with such a lukewarm score is not all bad.

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.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Preston North End’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Sheffield United played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Saturday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday.

We recommend taking up 10Bet’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 1. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
