Bournemouth vs Sheffield United Prediction & Match Preview

• Sheffield United lost five of the previous six league games.
• The Blades conceded five or more goals in four of the last seven matches across competitions.
• Dominic Solanke is Bournemouth’s top scorer with 14 goals in 26 Premier League appearances this term.

Sheffield United suffered another humiliating defeat on Monday, falling 0-6 at home to Arsenal in the last game of Matchday No 27. The Blades are not competitive at this level. They shipped five first-half goals five days ago and things could have gone much worse had the Gunners not pulled off a handbrake in the second half.

It was the fifth defeat in the last six games across competitions for Chris Wilder’s troops. Sheffield United still firmly hold the very foot of the Premier League standings, sitting eleven points below the safe zone line. They will be looking to arrest this huge slump in form and at least offer some sort of resistance on Saturday afternoon in the away clash against Bournemouth in Gameweek 28.

Bournemouth ended their six-game winless thread with a 2-0 victory away at Burnley on Sunday. Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo made the difference in a match in which Burnley missed numerous chances in front of Neto’s goal. The win moved Andoni Iraola’s men to 13th place in the Premier League standings.

Recent Meetings

• Bournemouth go into this on the back of two wins and a draw in the last three clashes against the Blades.
• The Cherries picked up a 3-1 road win in the return match played in November last year at Bramall Lane.
• Both teams were on target in four of the previous five head-to-head games.

Bournemouth vs Sheffield United Prediction

In simple words, Sheffield United lack quality for the top flight of English football. They keep getting hammered by most teams in the elite tier.

The Blades shipped five or more goals in four of the previous seven outings across competitions. It is too much to be a coincidence, especially if we remember them shipping eight goals in a home disaster against Newcastle earlier in the season.

Bournemouth possess much more quality in their ranks and they will go into this encouraged after a 2-0 win at Burnley last weekend. The Cherries have also won two and drawn one of the previous three H2H meetings with Sheffield United. We have no other option but to back Bournemouth to win by two or more goals difference as the main pick at the odds of 1.95.

Dominic Solanke is Bournemouth’s talisman. He has 14 goals in 26 Premier League appearances this term. The 26-year-old Englishman will have plenty of room to deliver past the worst defensive line in the division on Saturday.

Bournemouth play at home and are massive favourites against Sheffield United who have just shipped five first-half goals to Arsenal five days ago. We will back Solanke to score anytime at the 1.90 odds.
