- Venue: Bramall Lane (Sheffield)
Sheffield Utd was perceived as a strong contender for relegation to the Championship, even before the season commenced and also at its very beginning. This conjecture has been fully validated, now that over half of the Premier League matches have been played. Out of 20 matches, Sheffield Utd has only managed to secure 9 points, placing them 8 points behind the teams in the safety zone. Despite winning just one point in their last four matches and facing a somewhat easier schedule ahead, the prospects for the club are still quite bleak.
West Ham are recovering from a less than stellar beginning. The holiday rounds were perfect for them as they secured victories against Arsenal and Manchester Utd, and drew with Wolves and Brighton. These impressive results have led to West Ham being rewarded with 6th place in the league table, putting them ahead of teams like Man Utd, Brighton, Chelsea, and Newcastle. Maintaining this position will be a significant challenge for the London club, but under certain conditions, even Tottenham might have cause for concern. West Ham has demonstrated that they can readily compete with the league’s top teams.
Sheffield Utd vs West Ham pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
Sheffield Utd might gain a morale boost from their convincing 4-0 triumph over Gillingham in the FA Cup, especially for their crucial upcoming matches. They suffered a 2-0 loss to City in the prior round, a defeat that was expected to be more significant. Against teams like Liverpool, Chelsea and Aston Villa, they have managed to limit to a maximum of 2 goals conceded. Their defense seems to be performing slightly better than their offense. In their last five matches, West Ham has not had more than 2 goals scored against them. However, their scoring has been ineffective in their most recent three matches, having only managed to net one goal in total.
All signs indicate that we might witness a highly defensive match, possibly ending with a maximum of 2 goals and a slight win for the away team. Betting on under 2.5 goals appears to be a great option.
