Newcastle vs Sheffield United Prediction & Match Preview

Newcastle vs Sheffield United Match Preview

Newcastle return to St. James’ Park for the first time since the 4-0 drubbing of Tottenham on April 13th. Their fans might be in for a similar scoreline this weekend. The Magpies host the rock-bottomed Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon in Gameweek No 35.

• Newcastle won three and drew one of the last four home matches in the Premier League.
• Sheffield United conceded four goals in the home loss to Burnley last weekend.
• Alexander Isak bagged five goals in his previous four appearances for the Magpies.

Newcastle have gone through rough times in this term of the Premier League. Continuous injury problems have prevented them from replicating last season’s accolades. Nevertheless, Eddie Howe’s men seem to have found their good old form in April. They entered mid-week’s tie against Crystal Palace on the back of three wins and a draw in the last four league affairs.

Sheffield United were also in action in mid-week. They visited Old Trafford for the clash against Manchester United on Wednesday evening. The Blades still firmly hold the very foot of the Premier League standings. They suffered a painful 1-4 home loss at the hands of fellow relegation strugglers Burnley seven days ago.

Recent Meetings

• Newcastle United claimed a demolishing 8-0 victory in the reverse game played in September last year at Bramall Lane.
• The Magpies have four wins in the previous five clashes against Sheffield United.
• We did not see goals at both ends in any of the previous five H2H encounters.

Newcastle vs Sheffield United Prediction

Newcastle claimed one of the biggest wins in their history in this season’s match against Sheffield United. They might not put eight goals past them once again but another goal fest is very much on the cards here based on everything we’ve seen from these two outfits in recent weeks. The Magpies scored at least four goals in two of the last three home fixtures in the league.

Sheffield United have just shipped four goals in the match against the likes of Burnley on the home turf last weekend. The Blades lost 12 of 16 away fixtures in this term of the Premier League. They have nothing to hope for going face to face with an in-form Newcastle side on the road. The main bet is Newcastle to win in -1.5 Asian Handicap at the 1.60 odds.

The value is also great with Alexander Isak to score anytime at the 1.72 odds. Isak has been sensational for Newcastle of late. The Swedish forward bagged five goals in the last four appearances for the Magpies.

He has taken his league tally to 17 goals by scoring a brace in the 4-0 thumping of Spurs two weeks ago. He will be up against the division’s worst defensive line on Saturday.
