Manchester United - Sheffield United predictions

This match is somewhat one-sided, but not the most imbalanced clash we’ve seen. The odds are heavily in the hosts’ favour, who will likely walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Manchester United and the fact that Sheffield United are given 8.80 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

Manchester Utd are coming on the back of a narrowly avoided home defeat against AFC Bournemouth . Hope seemed lost after a sub-first half, but an equalizer in the late game allowed them to walk away with a single point (2:2) and their pride intact.

We last saw The Blades play against Burnley, which was an unfavourable matchup despite the home-field advantage. Records show that they were already behind at halftime, and the goal difference only increased to $RESULT as the game went on.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over The Blades’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

As the number 20th team in the standings, The Blades will be relegated unless they can move up before it’s too late. There’s a bit of time left, but it’s quickly running out. Considering most bookies are pricing an away win at 8.80, though, things don’t look too promising.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.35 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Manchester United won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire, Raphaël Varane, Anthony Martial, Antony, Jonny Evans will have to sit this one out, while Sheffield United will have to make do without Jack Robinson, Daniel Jebbison, Tom Davies.

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 1 odds.
