Leeds United - Sheffield United betting tips and odds

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Sheffield United may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic The Blades fans are expecting them to triumph at Leeds United this Saturday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Although most experts favoured Fulham in the previous round, Leeds came out on top in the end, after securing an important 1:2 victory. The first half ended in a stalemate, but a thrilling tie-breaker in the second half earned them important three points away.

The top online bookmakers priced an away win in Sheffield United’s previous away match win at 8.00, marking it as borderline impossible. As such, no one was surprised when they fell behind in the first half and went on to lose the match to Leicester City 5:0.

Despite the advantage of playing at home, the hosts’ most recent two games were relatively unimpressive. Both ended with less than 2 goals in total, indicating that this one will likely take the same route.

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 clock is ticking for Sheffield United as we move into round 30. With 12 points needed to be safe from relegation, they’ll have to outdo themselves in this coming matchup if they want to return to the Premier League next season.

The Peacocks already have a victory over Sheffield United on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Premier League, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Adam Forshaw, Robin Koch, Gaetano Berardi for the hosts, and Jack O'Connell, Jack Robinson, Jack Rodwell for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

We recommend taking up 888Sport’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 4.25. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
