Brentford - Sheffield United predictions

Brentford are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.48, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Brentford and the 7.00 odds given to Sheffield United to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

Things were looking quite bleak for Brentford on half-time of their previous Premier League clash against Aston Villa . They were losing in an away game against a much tougher opponent but ultimately manage to scrape together a $RESULT draw, however, which isn’t a bad result at all.

The away team’s performance in the previous round was well above what most tipsters and bookies expected of them. Although an HT/FT draw does not sound all that exciting, pre-match Premier League betting odds painted them as the 1.49 underdogs.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Brentford may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

With a loss to The Blades on the record, the home team’s status of clear favourites is brought into question. They lost a Premier League match earlier in the season, which came as a surprise to bookies and punters alike.

An Over 3.5 Goals is the best option for this fixture, though it’s not perfect by any means. That said, the notable risk of failure is worth it due to the considerable betting value that can be found in the 2.45 odds.
