Sheffield United vs Shrewsbury Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Sheffield United have been laying down a real marker of late and as each week passes they are looking more and more like title contenders. The Blades are unbeaten in seven matches and have won six of those. However, Shrewsbury have been revived of late and are now on a three game winning streak, keeping a clean sheet in all three. Perhaps this won’t be as easy as it may first appear for the hosts.

At odds of 11/4, ‘Sheffield United to Win & Under 2.5’ is the bet to go for. Not exactly the most popular of markets, but the visitors are fancied to make this harder than expected and so Sheffield United will have to work hard to come out on top.

The last three teams to play at Bramall Lane have pretty much rolled over, although on the two occasions that the hosts have recently been given a fight on home soil have both resulted in 1-0 wins. On top of this, three of Shrewsbury’s defeats on the road this season have seen less than three goals hit the net.

It’s probably unfair to judge the visitors on their early season form and they have looked good of late. Keeping three clean sheets is an impressive achievement; however, facing Sheffield United is a tough task, especially away from home and although they aren’t fancied to get a real thrashing, they are likely to walk away empty handed.
