Sheffield United - Preston North End betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.10, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

Preston North End will have little to hope for in this match. 4.75 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

The last home victory 6:2 we saw from Sheffield United brought a rather disappointing performance in the first 45 minutes. However, the team built up a strong lead in the second half and left little doubt as to who the favourites were in that particular matchup against Peterborough United .

Preston North End are coming on the back of a 0:0 away draw in the previous round against Bristol City. The score was even at half-time and remained so until the final whistle. Preston North End were clear underdogs in that matchup, though, so they’re happier with the outcome than their opponents.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from The Blades and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

Only 1 or fewer goals were scored during the course of Preston’s previous two away games. An Under 1.5 Goals market might be worth considering here.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Tuesday. Jack O'Connell, Jack Robinson, Billy Sharp will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

Thankfully, The Lilywhites will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.67. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
