Sheffield United v Fulham: Match Preview & Odds
As relegation looks increasingly likely for the Blades, Saturday’s fixture is one of huge importance
As the Premier League returns this weekend, bottom club Sheffield United host Fulham at Bramall Lane. As relegation looks increasingly likely for the Blades, Saturday’s fixture is one of huge importance. Here at betting.bet we’ll provide the latest team news, expert betting tips and match insights as well as the latest pre-match odds and free bets from our partners at Betway.
Form
Sheffield United are bottom of the Premier League with just 14 points from their 28 matches. Chris Wilder’s side have just one win in their past 12 and have not earned a home win in the Premier League since December 9th. The Blades have endured a disastrous campaign up to now seeing them concede a league-high 74 goals whilst they also possess the Premier League’s least potent attack with just 24 goals scored.
In contrast, Fulham have exceeded expectations and still retain an outside chance of qualifying for Europe. Ahead of this weekend’s fixtures, Fulham are 12th in the Premier League with 38 points from 29 matches. Fulham have won four of their last six league games and earned a superb 3-0 win over Spurs in their most recent fixture.
Sheffield United v Fulham: Head-to-Head
Four second-half goals saw Fulham run out 3-1 winners in the reverse fixture back in October. In head-to-head meetings at Bramall Lane, Fulham are without a win since November 2017 and without a win in the top-flight since 1968.
Betting Tips
Sheffield United may have thrown a two-goal lead away at AFC Bournemouth last time out but there are plenty of positives to take from that 2-2 draw. We’re going to back Sheffield United to claim a rare win at Bramall Lane and the odds of 100/30 on them doing so are incredibly generous.
Given Sheffield United’s woeful defensive record, we’re not expecting a clean sheet for the visitors. Both teams to score is probably too good to turn down at 4/6 whilst over 2.5 match goals is equally attractive at the same price.
Whilst there are no standout candidates for Sheffield United in the goalscorer markets, a Fulham goal may well come from their in-form forward, Rodrigo Muniz. The Brazilian scored twice in the win over Spurs to take his record to seven goals in seven matches since the beginning of February. You can back Rodrigo Muniz at 4/5 to score at any time or 14/5 to score first.
