Brentford vs Sheffield United Prediction & Match Preview

Brentford vs Sheffield United Match Preview

• Sheffield United lost 11 of 15 away games in this term of the Premier League.
• Five of Sheffield United’s last six league matches on the road produced four or more goals.
• Ivan Toney is set to return to the starting XI and he will lead the line against the division’s worst defence.

Brentford produced a stunning effort to deny Champions League hopefuls Aston Villa last weekend. The Bees held Unai Emery’s squad to a 3-3 stalemate in a six-goal thriller in Birmingham. Head coach Thomas Frank can be particularly pleased with the team spirits shown by his men after going two goals down early on in the affair.

However, a 3-3 draw at Aston Villa only extended Brentford’s winless run to nine league games. Thomas Frank’s men are currently 15th in the league table, sitting just four points above the relegation area. They will have a great chance to arrest such a negative streak this weekend.

Rock-bottomed Sheffield United come to visit Gtech Community Stadium in Matchday No 33 on Saturday afternoon. The Blades have all but dropped to Championship despite revamping their performances in recent weeks. Chris Wilder’s men lost just one of the last four league outings. They held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw six days ago at Bramall Lane.

Latest Meetings

• Sheffield United have dominated this matchup in recent years. They won four and drew one of the previous five encounters with the Bees.
• Sheffield United have won only 3 of 31 league games so far in the season. One of these three wins came just against Brentford. It was a 1-0 victory in December last year at Bramall Lane.
• Only one of the previous six H2H affairs between these counterparts provided three or more goals.

Brentford vs Sheffield United Prediction

Brentford have a great opportunity to finally bring a dismal nine-game winless run to an end. Being just four points above the relegation zone, the Bees can ill afford a slip-up against the worst team in the division.

The good news for Thomas Frank is that his men have shown big improvements in the latest displays. They looked lethal in the final third in the 3-3 stalemate last Saturday at Villa Park. In more good news, we could see the Ivan Toney – Bryan Mbeumo partnership in the starting XI for the first time this season.

Sheffield United lost 11 of 15 away matches so far in the season. Five of their last six away fixtures provided four or more goals. They boast by far the weakest defensive record in the league with 82 goals conceded in 31 matches. We will back Brentford to win & Over 3.5 goals pick at the odds of 3.00.

Ivan Toney only came on from the bench in the second half of the last weekend’s affair in Birmingham due to injury problems. The 28-year-old English forward is ready to return to the starting lineup on Saturday.

We know that he is the focal point of Brentford’s attacking line. He is facing the league’s worst defence. We just have to take the 1.83 odds offered for Toney to score anytime.
