Sheffield United vs West Ham United Predictions

• Sheffield United have scored in five of their last six home games.
• West Ham have scored in nine of their 10 Premier League away games.
• Cameron Archer has taken nine shots across his last three appearances at Bramall Lane.

Goals likely as Blades host Hammers

West Ham suffered FA Cup disappointment in midweek as they were knocked out by Bristol City, and they now face a trip to rock-bottom Sheffield United.

The Blades have picked up since Chris Wilder returned as manager in December and have secured four of their nine points in the six games he has been in charge, as well as reaching the FA Cup fourth round.

The hosts have had plenty of time to prepare for this game as this is their first game in two weeks, while West Ham have had a quick turnaround and have now gone three games without a win (D2, L1).

Both teams capable of scoring

The hosts are the league’s lowest scorers with just 15 goals in 20 games but they have scored in five of their last six home games.

The Hammers have conceded in eight of their last 10 trips but have scored themselves in nine of their 10 away league fixtures, so both teams to score appeals as our main bet.

Spoils could be shared

West Ham have beaten the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham since the start of December but have struggled in some games they would have perhaps have been expected to win, losing to Fulham , drawing with Brighton and then falling short against the Robins in the cup as they were held at home before defeat in the replay.

As such, the Blades may be able to get something out of this game and a 2-2 draw has some appeal as the hosts have scored twice in two of their last five at home – but they also concede on average 2.49 goals-per-game.

Cameron Archer is an option for an anytime goal as he has been getting plenty of chances. The 22-year-old Sheffield United forward has had nine shots across his last three home league games and may be able to add to his three Premier League goals for the season this weekend.
