Everton vs Sheffield United Prediction & Match Preview

Everton vs Sheffield United Match Preview

An impressive four-win run at home helped Everton secure another top-flight campaign. They will have the best chance possible to conclude the superb home form in the clash against the rock-bottomed Sheffield United in their final game at Goodison Park this season.

• Everton are looking for the fifth straight home win in the league.
• Sheffield United are on a run of five successive defeats.
• The Blades allowed 16 goals in the last 4 Premier League fixtures.

Everton have mathematically secured the elite-class survival even before the last Friday’s 1-1 draw at Luton. Sean Dyche has found his good old defensive formula just when Everton needed it most. The Toffees conceded just a single goal in the last four league games. The run involves a 2-0 victory over fierce local enemies and then-title hopefuls Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.

While Everton have tightened things up defensively, Sheffield United do not play this segment at all. The Blades amassed the number of 100 conceded goals for the season. They shipped three in the latest home loss to Nottingham Forest last Saturday.

Recent Meetings

• The outfits have a win, a draw, and a defeat each in the previous three head-to-head meetings.
• Everton have dominated this matchup in the games at Goodison. They won 32, drew 7, and lost 14 of the previous 53 home clashes against the Blades.
• Only one of the previous five H2H matches saw three or more goals scored.

Everton vs Sheffield United Prediction

Sheffield United have not been pulling up any trees since the beginning of the season. They are by far the weakest team in the top flight of English football and they have already deservedly been eliminated to Championship football.

The Blades have been particularly poor in the last several weeks. They’ll go into this off the back of five straight defeats. They’ve conceded four or more goals in three of the previous four losses along the way.

The remaining game in this run saw them lose 1-3 at home to the likes of Nottingham Forest seven days ago. Everton are on a thread of three victories and a draw in the previous four league affairs. We will back the hosts to win by two or more goals difference at the 2.05 odds.

You will rarely see us backing goals in Everton’s matches but we have to go for the Over pick here. Sheffield United have been disastrous defensively of late. They allowed 16 goals in the previous four league defeats.

We would also not be surprised to see the visitors on target. The Blades scored in each of the last four league losses. The Over 2.5 goals bet is paid at the 1.53 odds.
