This weekend sees the return of the Premier League following a brief hiatus due to the international break, but we’re back in full swing on Saturday with Sheffield United taking on Southampton as the betting tips continue at Bramall Lane.
Sheffield United Prediction – Can Sheffield Utd build on point?
Saturday afternoon’s hosts, Sheffield United, headed into the international break having gained a solid and well earned point in a 2-2 draw away at Chelsea as Chris Wilder’s men showed resilience and character to come from 2 goals behind to grab something from their trip.
Sheffield United have made a reasonable start in their long-awaited return to the Premier League this season as The Blades have collected 5 points from their first 4 matches of the campaign, which includes a 1-0 home win against Crystal Palace.
In addition, Sheffield United have picked up valuable points on the road as well with draws at Bournemouth and the aforementioned Chelsea result, while losing just 1 of their opening 4 matches which was a slightly disappointing 2-1 loss on home turf to Leicester City at Bramall Lane.
The hosts will be pretty confident though that they can register a second win of the season against Southampton today as The Blades have lost just 2 of their last 13 matches at home, winning 10 of these.
Southampton Prediction – Can Southampton extend unbeaten run?
Southampton occupy 13th place in the Premier League and have taken 4 points from their first 4 matches of the new top flight season which have actually come in their last 2 matches thanks to a 2-0 win away at Brighton and a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Manchester United at St Mary’s Stadium.
Saints manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl, must have been fearing the worst as he saw his side slump to back-to-back defeats in the Premier League at the start of this new season as they suffered defeats to Burnley (3-0 away) and a 2-1 defeat at home to Liverpool, although the latter was no disgrace.
However, Southampton have also shown character in producing two solid performances after these opening defeats and the south coast club may well fancy their chances of taking something away with them back down to Southampton this Saturday.
Results away from home will need to improve though as Southampton have won just 2 of their last 9 away matches in the Premier League which incidentally, have both been against Brighton at the AMEX Stadium – but 5 defeats from these last 9 will be a concern to Hasenhuttl.
Key-Facts – Sheffield United v Southampton
- Sheffield United have won 10 of their last 13 matches at home in all competitions
- Southampton have won just 2 of their last 9 away matches in the Premier League
- Sheffield United won the last meeting against Southampton 1-0 at Bramall Lane
Betting Tips Verdict
Bramall Lane is a tough ground to get a result from and Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United side are no push-overs. The hosts should get at least a point here, if not all three.
