Sheffield United vs Manchester United Prediction 21.10.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 21.10.2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Bramall Lane (Sheffield)

From the onset of the 2023/24 Premier League season, it was evident that Sheffield Utd, who had recently rejoined the top-tier league, faced slim odds of retaining their position for the following season. This prediction proved to be quite accurate as Sheffield managed to secure only one point in their first eight matches, precisely in the fourth round against Everton. They experienced consecutive defeats in all other games, with a particularly devastating loss against Newcastle, where they suffered a humiliating 0-8 defeat on their home turf.

Man Utd’s current season appears to be heading towards mediocrity once again, with Champions League qualification being the sole measure of success. However, this objective seems increasingly difficult to achieve as the popular English club finds itself positioned in the middle of the table with 4 wins and 4 losses. With numerous teams vying for top spots, it seems unrealistic to expect Man Utd to secure one of the coveted top three positions alongside City, Liverpool, and Arsenal. Additionally, the race for the fourth spot sees several contenders, including current leaders Tottenham, as well as Newcastle and Brighton who are making a strong push.

Sheffield Utd vs Manchester Utd pick: MU TO WIN AND COVER AH -1

Despite enduring a challenging period with significant losses in both the Premier League and the Champions League, Manchester United must strive to bounce back. If not against Sheffield, who currently hold the title as the weakest team in the Premier League, then against whom? In their previous visit to Sheffield’s stadium, Man Utd emerged victorious with a score of 3-2. Although there have been some difficulties in head-to-head encounters, Sheffield’s feeble attack poses minimal threat, leaving only the question of whether the visitors will secure victory by a margin of 1, 2, or more goals.

Here, we predict that the visiting team will win with a handicap of -1. Additionally, if the visiting team wins by a margin of 2 or more goals, it will result in profit. However, if the visiting team wins by only one goal, the stake will be returned.
