Premier League Form
Wolves currently sit 11th in the Premier League table with 35 points from their 25 league games. However, they are just three points behind Brighton & Hove Albion in 7th and very much in contention to qualify for Europe next season. Gary O’Neil’s side earned a deserved 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur last time out however they have lost back-to-back home league games against Manchester United (4-3) and Brentford (2-0).
Sheffield United are seven points from safety with just 13 points in their first 25 matches.The Blades have suffered heavy 5-0 losses in two of their past three league games against Brighton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa however they did earn a crucial 3-1 win at Luton Town in their last away league game.
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Sheffield United: head-to-head
Sheffield United claimed all three points in the reverse fixture, sealing a dramatic 2-1 win with a penalty in the 10th minute of stoppage time at the end of the game. That win ended a run of three straight defeats against Wolves. However, Sheffield United have not won at Molineux since October 2002.
Betting tips
Wolves are undoubtedly the side in the better form and home advantage should be enough to see them take all three points. At 2/5, a home win is priced reasonably enough to consider as a single bet. However, as Sheffield United possess the worst defence in the league with 65 goals conceded, backing Wolves to win and over 2.5 match goals is arguably a better option at 8/13.
The absence of Matheus Cunha through injury is a big blow for Wolves but it does seem that Pedro Neto has put his own injury problems behind him. The Portuguese midfielder has one goal and three assists in Wolves’ last four Premier League games and is priced at 8/11 to score or assist a goal on Sunday.
