Leicester City - Sheffield United betting tips and odds

It’s easy to point out Leicester City as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

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

Leicester’s previous away performance caught everyone by surprise – most of all Brighton & Hove Albion , their opponents. The visitors were given a negligible chance of success, which seemed especially impossible when Brighton & Hove Albion took the lead in the first half. Leicester took it back in the second half, ending the match with an unexpected 1:2 away win.

Sheffield United’s latest Premier League performance against Southampton ended in a harsh 0:2 defeat, though that’s not saying a lot about their current form. They never had much of a shot despite the home-field advantage, and their opponents dictated the pace of the whole game.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

Sheffield United haven’t really been top of their game in their previous away outings – all 3 of them ended in defeat.

The Foxes have great odds of finishing this season on a high note. With a 3rd spot in the standings, they’re almost guaranteed a Champions League spot. Ideally, though, this match will allow them to get closer to the coveted leading position and a shot at the title.

Desperation must be setting in over at the Sheffield United camp as we move into round 28. At 20th place, they are at risk of being relegated. Even worse, their odds of earning points against the current opposition are quite low.

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

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
