Sheffield United vs Peterborough Predictions

• Sheffield United have failed to score in four of their first five league matches.
• Peterborough have failed to net in three of their opening five games.
• The hosts have claimed just two draws thus far, with both fixtures ending goalless.

Shortage of goals in South Yorkshire

Goals have been in short supply for both of these sides in the opening weeks of the season and a dour contest looks on the cards in South Yorkshire as Sheffield United aim to secure their first win of the campaign.

The Blades have been woeful since their relegation back to the second tier, and the pressure is already firmly on new boss Slavisa Jokanovic ahead of this fixture. His side have picked up just two points from their first five games, and they’ve failed to score in four.

The hosts should consequently be given a wide berth here at odds-on, and Peterborough are temptingly priced to prevail at Bramall Lane. There’s probably a touch of value in the 9/2 about the visitors, though The Posh have only won one of their first five games since promotion, losing three.

And similar to The Blades, Darren Ferguson’s side have been struggling for goals. They netted twice against both Derby County and Cardiff City but have failed to muster anything in their three other league outings.

With both teams ineffective in attack, under 2.5 goals undoubtedly makes most appeal for Saturday’s action. Matters will likely be settled by a single goal if either team are to triumph, and we’re narrowly giving the vote to The Posh in the correct score market.
