Burnley vs Sheffield United Prediction & Match Preview

Burnley are set to host Sheffield United at Turf Moor for their upcoming league fixture. Burnley enter the contest following a streak of disappointing outcomes. They remain at the bottom of the league standings after their 2-1 loss to West Ham last time out.

Their opponents, Sheffield United, had a pair of improved results prior to their recent defeat. They sit 18th in the table after a 3-1 defeat to Bournemouth in their previous league match.

Who will win the match between Burnley vs Sheffield United?

Both teams are struggling in the league, although we are picking Burnley to pull off a win here owing to their valiant recent efforts against Burnley and Crystal Palace at home, where they took a total of 28 shots despite losing, and against Sheffield United, who have lost five of their six away league matches and are leaking goals on the road, they should have the advantage.

How many goals can be expected?

We expect goals in this match since both sides would like to grab a much-needed win against their promotion gotton adversaries. In six of Burnley’s last seven matches, the score exceeded 2.5 goals. Also, five of Sheffield United’s last six matches have also ended with over 2.5 goals.

By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.

Will Both teams score in the match?

Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record. The hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in all 13 league matches this season. While the visitors have conceded the most goals in the league thus far, they have also failed to retain a clean sheet in those games.

Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.

The Verdict

The bookies have Burnley as the favourite, and backing them at 2.30 odds is a safe bet given their recent efforts at home. They also have a fine record against Sheffield United at this venue. Meanwhile, Sheffield United have had a poor away record going into the match.

Therefore, a victory for Burnley at 1.86 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.

For the second tip, the odds of 1.86 for both teams to score look quite attractive. Given both clubs’ poor defensive performances and recent goal participation at both ends of the game.
