Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Brighton won 5-2 at Sheffield United in the cup late last month and they visit a Blades side who have seen both teams score in four of their last five. The hosts have improved going forward under Chris Wilder, but they remain defensively shaky and Brighton can take full advantage.

Brighton 3-2

Reason for tip

Brighton have a little less firepower going forward than they did in the Cup clash and that could see a closer game between these two. The visitors have conceded twice in three of their last four, so back them for a 3-2 victory.

Facundo Buonanotte To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Buonanotte scored at this ground in the FA Cup earlier this term and the winger has scored twice in his last four games. He seems to have settled into a starting role while Brighton deal with absences and he’s a good value anytime scorer for this clash.

Quick rematch for Blades

After losing to Brighton in the cup last month, Sheffield United have a chance at revenge when they clash on Super Sunday. The Seagulls were 5-2 winners when the pair met in January, keeping them fighting across three fronts. They’ll hope for a repeat of that performance as they look to steady some shaky form.

As for the Blades, they’ve made strides forward since reappointing boss Chris Wilder. Their 3-1 win over Luton last weekend saw them lead by two goals in a Premier League game for the first time in 64 attempts, dating back to a win over Frank Lampard’s Chelsea in July 2020. Can they build off that victory in this clash with Brighton?

Seagulls struggling to soar

The visitors sit ninth in the Premier League, while still in both the Europa League and the FA Cup. That’s by no means a bad season for Brighton, but recent months have seen them struggle for consistency. After a blistering start, the Seagulls have won only four of their last 18 league games.

The visitors remains shaky in defence, having conceded 40 goals across their 24 league games this term. Only six sides have outscored them at the other end of the pitch, which has taken Roberto De Zerbi’s outfit into some very open games, including their victory at Bramall Lane.

It’s impressive that even without the likes of Joao Pedro and Julio Enciso, the Seagulls remain a good side going forward. They continue to unearth gems, with Facundo Buonanotte scoring twice across their last four games having forced his way into the side. The Argentine was among the scorers when these two met last month and he can find the net in this trip.

Hosts can put up a fight

Sheffield United remain bottom of the Premier League, but they have been much more competitive under Wilder. The Blades have scored at least twice in five of their last six games and they have scored in seven of their last nine at home. They can add to that against Brighton, having seen both teams score in four of their last five.

Backing both teams to score usually pays off in Brighton games, as it has landed in 20 of their 24 league matches this term. With these two sharing seven goals in their recent encounter – along with drawing 1-1 at the Amex earlier this season – both teams to score looks like the standout bet in this clash.
