Sheffield United - Burnley predictions

Beating Burnley will not be easy, but we believe Sheffield United are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Burnley will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. The Blades are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

A defeat as heavy as their Brentford beating in the previous round of Premier League is not something Sheffield United will recover from easily. However, that’s exactly what they hope to achieve this Saturday.

The Clarets’s previous round was a home match against Brighton & Hove Albion which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 3.95 odds on a home win.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

With the season’s end just around the corner, it seems Sheffield United will be relegated. Though they have a decent matchup in round 34, they still need 9 points to get out of the relegation zone and almost no time to win them.

Burnley will not have been too happy with how the Premier League campaign panned out. As they prepare to travel to Bramall Lane, the visitors sit in the relegation zone, 5 points short of the safe zone.

It’s clear that The Clarets are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced The Blades earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Hjalmar Ekdal, Ameen Al Dakhil, Jordan Beyer, Han-Noah Massengo due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Jack Robinson, Jayden Bogle, Daniel Jebbison, Tom Davies have also reported injuries.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.62 odds offered at William Hill.
