Newcastle United - Sheffield United betting tips and odds

We don’t expect Newcastle United to have any issues beating Sheffield United. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.79 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact The Blades are given 5.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

The previous round didn’t end well for Newcastle, though it wasn’t a catastrophe either. They got by with a narrow 3:4 home loss against Manchester City after a draw in the first half – which seems bad before you consider the 11.00 odds on them winning.

With most bookmakers online pricing their victory at odds of 9.50, no one believed The Blades could come out on top in their previous Premier League match. However, they went ahead and did it – an early lead turned into a narrow, but well-deserved 0:1 away win at Everton.

With 8 concessions over the last 3 matches, The Magpies will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Sheffield United may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

Sheffield United are currently in the relegation zone and going into a difficult match this Wednesday. Considering we’re already at round 37, it doesn’t seem like we’ll be seeing them in the Premier League next year.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Premier League clash tells a different story. The Magpies lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

With limited means at their disposal, both teams will have to make do with shortened rosters. We’re referring to the fact both teams suffered strings of injuries, rendering a good chunk of both squads unavailable for this match. Karl Darlow, Isaac Hayden, Jamal Lewis, Ryan Fraser, Elliott Anderson will not be playing for the hosts, while Jack O'Connell, Jack Robinson, Oliver McBurnie, Billy Sharp, Jack Rodwell, Ethan Ampadu will be missing on the visiting side.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 4.00 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as bwin.
