Wolves vs Sheffield Utd prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-02-24 13:30.
[p]A João Gomes double inspired mid-table Wolves to a huge 2-1 Premier League victory over Tottenham last time out. Now Gary O’Neil’s side will look to claim successive league wins for the first time this calendar year, and they’ll be motivated to do it in front of their own fans given they’ve lost each of their last two matches at Molineux, though they haven’t lost three such outings in a row since September 2021. [/p]
[p]Wolves haven’t lost a home league game against struggling Sheffield United across the pair’s last eight meetings here (W4, D4), so they are understandably big favourites coming into the contest. Putting together another strong offensive performance will be key to tipping the balance in favour of the win column, and having failed to score in just one of their 12 home league outings this campaign, you’d fancy them to extend that record against the league’s worst defence. [/p]
[p]The Blades season hit another low point at the weekend as they were played off the park at Bramall Lane by Brighton in a 5-0 defeat. That loss undid all the good work that Sheffield United had put into their prior 3-1 win against Luton Town, whilst it also saw the visitors tie the record for the number of matches a Premier League side has ever lost via a five-goal margin (5) in the same season in the competition’s history.[/p]
[p]Manager Chris Wilder will need to pick his side up again then and quickly, especially as they need to find a positive result here to reboot an unlikely push for safety this season. They begin this matchday seven points from safety and will be desperate to record successive away Premier League victories for just the fifth time in club history![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Despite only featuring in 16 Premier League matches this season, Wolves winger Pedro Neto has registered nine assists, the joint third-most of any player in the competition. Sheffield United’s James McAtee has five competitive goals to his name this season, with his last two Premier League strikes both coming in the first half of away matches. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Sheffield United are conceding 7.4 corners on average per Premier League match this season – the most of any side in the competition.[/p]
