Sheffield United Preview – Can Sheffield Utd leapfrog Tottenham?
A 1-0 win away from home at Crystal Palace last weekend maintained Sheffield United’s challenge for a top five finish in their first season back in the Premier League, and another three points against lowly Bournemouth at Bramall Lane on Sunday afternoon would see The Blades jump into 5th place at Tottenham’s expense.
Despite recent results producing mixed returns, following understandable defeats to Liverpool (away) and Manchester City (home) as well as wins against West Ham and Crystal Palace, Sheffield United still remain on the fringes of the European qualifying spots.
Out of the three teams that were promoted from the Championship at the end of last season, it’s Sheffield United that have emerged as the most solid and consistent performers back in the top flight, although their home record stands at an inconsistent looking 5-2-5 13/11.
The five defeats are a concern, but the goals markets (in particular the under 2.5) appeals here as goals have been thin on the ground at Bramall Lane. Indeed, 9 of Sheffield United’s 12 home games have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Bournemouth Preview – Can Bournemouth win three on the trot?
Recent back-to-back wins in the Premier League against fellow strugglers, Brighton and Aston Villa, have certainly helped alleviate the immediate relegation fears for Bournemouth as The Cherries have hauled themselves out of the bottom three for the time being.
A third win on the trot away at Sheffield United on Sunday would put further daylight between themselves and third from bottom club, West Ham, and an important 5 point cushion, but it should be noted that Bournemouth’s recent and much-needed wins were recorded on home turf at their Vitality Stadium.
Switch to results away from home and you’ll find that Bournemouth have lost 6 of their last 7 matches on their travels, so The Cherries are not to be trusted on the win markets here! However, 6 of Bournemouth’s 12 away matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals amidst an overall ordinary looking away record of 3-1-8 10/19.
