Sunderland - Sheffield United predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Sunderland on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

The host’s most recent Championship performance was quite a letdown, all things considered. They were playing away, but most online bookmakers still gave them an edge in terms of betting odds. Despite the optimistic predictions, though, they spent most of the match in a stalemate and lost 1:0 after a second-half decider.

Sheffield United are here on the back of an undecided match against West Bromwich Albion. The odds were in The Blades’s favour, though, and they were the hosts – which means that the draw result was a disappointment.

Sheffield United’s last five Championship appearances all confirmed the Under 2.5 Market, which is why betting predictions point out this market as a good idea.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Championship season. Sunderland narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

Vinicius Costa, Femi Seriki, Harry Souttar, Jesuran Rak-Sakyi, Tyrese Campbell have all been forced to stay out of this match due to various injuries. That’s one more disadvantage that the visitors will have to deal with on top of being the less likely team to win.

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 1.62. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
