Sheffield United vs Walsall Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Sheffield United may have stuttered by drawing away at Charlton last time out but, nevertheless, they remain a force to be reckoned with, especially at home, and are therefore hard to oppose in this match. The visitors haven’t looked in great shape recently – no wins in their last four – and look set to struggle.

At odds of 11/4, the bet to go for here is ‘Sheffield United to Win & Under 2.5 Goals’. The hosts are very much fancied to get the better of their opponents here; however, Walsall have often kept the goals down to a minimum on the road and so this isn’t expected to be a walkover.

Sheffield United have looked good at home this season. They’ve won seven of their nine matches on their own patch, often beating the opposition out of sight. Although, having said this, they’ve also beat teams in low-scoring fashion, grinding out the result in tight matches – something that bodes well against a Walsall side who’re likely to sit deep in this match. Three of Sheffield United’s wins this season (at home) have seen less than three goals hit the net.

Walsall have made a habit of keeping things low-key on the road this season. Just 11% of their matches have seen more than three goals go in. Against a side as good as Sheffield United, the visitors won’t want to be giving anything away so they’re likely to play deep in an attempt to keep things tight. This might frustrate their opponents and it may take a while to break through; however, Sheffield United are fancied to continue their impressive home record – just in less emphatic fashion than has often been seen.
