Wolves vs Sheffield United Prediction & Match Preview

• Wolves come into this on the back of a big display in a 2-1 win over Tottenham in North London.
• Ten-man Sheffield United suffered another embarrassing home loss last weekend.
• The Blades shipped five goals in three of the previous five games in all competitions.

Wolves host Sheffield United in the lone match of Sunday’s Premier League program. The hosts will have a great opportunity to back up last weekend’s upset win at Tottenham Hotspur. Head coach Gary O’Neil can be proud of the performance his men have shown last weekend in North London. Wolves’ defence did great to control one of the best attacking lines in the division.

Wolves’ attackers will get a chance to feast on Sunday. They are up against the Premier League’s worst defensive line. With 65 goals conceded in 25 league matches, Sheffield United own by far the weakest defensive record in the division. The Blades have been particularly poor at the back in recent weeks. They shipped five goals in three of the previous five affairs across competitions.

The latest of the Blades’ failures happened seven days ago. Mason Holgate got sent off for a brutal challenge early in the game as Brighton took advantage of the given situation to bag five unanswered goals past the powerless Sheffield United players. Chris Wilder’s men are one foot in the Championship football. They are seven points adrift of the safe zone and there is nothing to suggest better days from them at this stage.

Recent Meetings

One of Sheffield United’s three wins in this term of the Premier League has come just against Wolves. It was a 2-1 success in November last year at Bramall Lane.

Wolves had previously been on a three-win streak in the matches against the Blades.

Four of the last six H2H encounters between these rivals finished with fewer than three goals scored.

Wolves vs Sheffield United Prediction

The gulf in quality between Sheffield United and the rest of the league is significant. When you add that Wolves will come into this in high spirits after a big win in North London, you can only see one scenario happening on Sunday afternoon at Molineux Stadium. Wolves have generally done very well of late. They lost just two of the previous eleven outings across competitions. Gary O’Neil’s men scored two or more goals in four of the last five affairs. We expect the hosts to feast on Sunday and we’ll back them to beat Sheffield United by two or more goals difference at the 2.30 odds.

Hee-Chan Hwang returned to Wolves’ starting lineup last Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The South Korean attacker tops his team’s goal-scoring charts with 10 goals to his name this season. He also takes penalties in the absence of injured Matheus Cunha. We see huge value in backing Hee-Chan Hwang to score anytime past the worst defence in the Premier League at the 2.62 odds.
