Sheffield United - Chelsea predictions

To call the upcoming match difficult for Sheffield United would be a major understatement. They are going up against impossible odds. With a home win priced at 7.00 with major online bookmakers, this is a completely one-sided game.

A trip to Sheffield United can hardly be seen as a big test for Chelsea. With 1.46 betting odds stacked in their favour, it’s hard seeing past anything other than a compelling away win here.

Sheffield United’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Liverpool as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:1 loss for Sheffield United.

The visiting team played a game at home last round against Manchester United, with pre-match betting odds favouring them heavily at around 3.80. They initially failed to press their advantage and spent a good chunk of the game in a stalemate, but eventually took the lead and won 4:3.

Experts have pointed at The Blades’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 8 goals over the last 3 Premier League games.

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.

The season is already in its latter stages, which is becoming a big problem for The Blades. They’re still in the relegation zone and are going into a difficult fight, so their chances of moving up are getting smaller with each passing round.

The Blues won the home game they played against Sheffield United earlier in the season, and they did so with a notable goal difference. Winning this showdown as well would firmly establish them as the better team.

Before assuming the favoured visitors will win, keep in mind that their lineup has been altered due to several injuries. Malo Gusto, C. Ugochukwu, Robert Sanchez will all be missing for various reasons, leaving the coach with a shorter lineup than usual.

Your best bet in this scenario is to go for a high-risk, high-reward bet. Namely, we suggest a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market. It’s definitely not a safe bet, but the 7.30 odds make up for it in sheer betting value.
