Form
Sheffield United sit rock bottom of the Premier League with just 16 points from their 32 matches. The Blades possess the division’s worst attack and worst defence having scored just 30 goals and conceding an eye-watering 84 times. Sheffield United’s last match was a 2-0 defeat at Brentford, extending their winless run to eight matches.
Burnley have not fared much better during their first season back in the top-flight. The Clarets are 19th with 20 points from 33 matches and have won just one of their last 15 Premier League matches.
Sheffield United v Burnley: Head-to-Head
The reverse fixture at Turf Moor in December was an extremely one-sided encounter with Burnley earning a 5-0 win thanks to goals from Jay Rodriguez, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Zeki Amdouni, Luca Koleosho and Josh Brownhill. However, Shieffled United have won three straight matches against Burnley at Bramall Lane including a 5-2 drubbing in the Sky Bet Championship last season.
Betting Tips
Sheffield United have conceded two or more goals in their last six Premier League games and this is where we’re going to start. Burnley to score over 1.5 team goals is a huge 11/10. If Sheffield United are to concede two or more then it does not rule them out of this fixture altogether. The Blades have themselves scored two or more in back-to-back home league games. Over 3.5 match goals looks an interesting proposition at 17/10.
As for selecting a goalscorer from these two sides, there are no standout options. We would therefore be inclined to suggest backing Burnley’s main free-kick and penalty taker, Jacob Bruun Larsen. The Dane has scored two in Burnley’s last five league games but that’s about as prolific as it gets at the wrong end of the Premier League table. Jacon Bruun Larsen is 12/5 to score at any time or 7/1 to score first.
