Sheffield Utd vs Fulham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-03-29 15:00.
[p]Sheffield United CEO Stephen Bettis revealed during the international break that the club were already thinking about how to spend parachute payments and transfer income, such is the strong likelihood of them suffering immediate relegation from the Premier League. Still, they won’t have given up all hope despite sitting bottom of the table – eight points behind 17th-placed Luton Town following Nottingham Forest’s points deduction – especially after a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in their last fixture.[/p]
[p]It was exactly the response that they needed after being thumped 6-0 by Arsenal – their third consecutive home defeat ‘to nil’ in which they also conceded at least five times. The Blades have been routinely blunted at Bramall Lane, where fans still await a first victory in South Yorkshire of the calendar year (D1, L4), but they will hope that their team can end that run against a Fulham side that they beat 4-0 in their last meeting there.[/p]
[p]Having thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 just prior to the international break, Fulham should be high on confidence as they push to get back into the top half of the standings. And with each of their last five matches producing exactly three goals (W3, L2), and each of their last seven producing more than 2.5 goals, entertainment has followed the Cottagers around of late (W4, D1, L2).[/p]
[p]Fulham fans would no doubt happily swap the entertainment for more points on the road, as the west Londoners have only won one of their last 13 away league outings (D4, L8). Picking up four points from their last three (W1, D1, L1) suggests that they’re beginning to turn things around in that regard, and they’ll look to make the most of four of their five remaining league games on their travels this season being against teams battling the drop.

[p]Players to watch: All four of Gustavo Hamer’s goals for Sheffield United were his side’s first of the match, while after scoring in Fulham’s last away fixture, each of Alex Iwobi’s last three strikes have come after the 70th minute – two of which arrived in injury time.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Fulham are unbeaten this term in league games that they’ve led at the break (W5, D2).[/p]
