How To Read And Understand The Odds

3y ago

With many considering the Blades as outsiders prior to the start of the season, they have taken the Premier League by storm picking up valuable points, even against the league’s giants. Currently occupying 8^th position on the log, they are just a single point adrift of Crystal Palace in 5^th place.

The visitors, on the other hand, are not having the best of campaigns, sitting 14^th on the standings, having amassed no more than sixteen points from a possible forty-two.

Bramall Lane will separate the shaft from the wheat when these two sides lock horns in what is expected to be an exciting encounter tomorrow night.

Sheffield United v Newcastle Team News

Chris Wilder and his players must have been burning the midnight oil, putting in extra effort to put on a good fight this season. Consider their efforts fruitful! A team considered relegation candidates at the start of the season, it is shocking to see them lying 8^th on the log after 14 games.

They deserve all the plaudits they have been receiving this season as they have been in fine form. However, in recent weeks, they seem to have lost some of that flair, swagger and panache that have won them so many fans this campaign.

Last time out against Wolves on the road, the Blades failed the see out a game once again after seeing Lys Mousser’s opener canceled out by a beautiful effort from Matt Doherty. The players were left dejected. They are now on a three-game winless run in the league.

Things are still rosy at Bramall Lane however, as Chris Wilder’s charges boast of a seven-match unbeaten run in the league and are just a single point away from breaking into the top-five as well.

It is fair to say Newcastle United have been the most inconsistent teams so far this season, alternating between wins, draws and losses every match-day.

The Magpies turned on the style in their last fixture against Manchester City, holding the reigning champions to a vital 2-2 draw in front of the home crowd. Jonjo Shelvey turned savior for the Tyneside club, firing home late in the game to snatch a point from the Citizens.

They were brought down to bare bones in their last away fixture at Aston Villa, suffering a 2-0 defeat. It goes without saying that the visitors are at their worst away from home. With just two wins from their last seven outings, picking up no more than six points from a possible twenty-one in the process, the Magpies are simply a load of pants on their travels.

The hosts on the other hand have not admitted defeat in their last three fixtures on this ground. To top it off, they have kept clean sheets in two of their preceding three games at Bramall Lane.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Sheffield United: No missing players.

Newcastle: Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Ritchie, Florian Lejeune.

Sheffield Utd vs Newcastle Predictions

Given the form that the hosts are in at the moment and even the entirety of the season so far, they have to be considered huge favourites to clinch maximum points here.

The visitors have not had it easy on their travels and will likely be condemned to another defeat on away soil. Count on Lys Mousset to get his name on his scoresheet before the end of ninety minutes.
