Sheffield United - Southampton betting tips and odds

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 06/03/2021 played @ Bramall Lane

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Sheffield United will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Southampton.

The Saints are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Not even the most ardent of Sheffield United supporters would have predicted a victory for their team in the previous match against Liverpool , even after the inconclusive first half. Quite predictably, the match ended in a 0:2 home loss for them.

While Southampton’s previous loss is bad news for them, it’s hard to say anyone was surprised. They were fighting against overwhelming odds as visitors, so the narrow 1:0 loss against Everton was in line with most betting predictions.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Southampton are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

The Blades will need another 12 points to get out of the relegation zone – and this round is not a particularly good opportunity to win them. They are quickly running out of time, though, and will need to move quickly if they wish to stay in the Premier League.

It’s clear that The Saints are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced Sheffield United earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

Though the visitors are clearly considered favourites, they’ll have some additional hurdles to overcome for this match. Namely, Kyle Walker-Peters, Oriol Romeu, Will Smallbone, Michael Obafemi, Ibrahima Diallo, Theo Walcott will all be kept from the game due to injury. It’s a precarious position despite the team’s strength and should be kept in mind when looking at the betting odds.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.12, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
