Walsall vs Sheffield United Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Along with Rochdale, Sheffield United are the form team in League One right now. Saturday’s visitors have won each of their last six matches, playing some really good attacking football in the process. On the other hand, Walsall have been up and down, not just lately, but pretty much all season long. Given the respective form of both, it’s fairly hard to look past the away side here.

With betting in mind, the only way to play this is to side with the visitors. However, instead of backing them to win, backing ‘Sheffield United to Score Over 1.5 Goals’, at odds of 4/5, is the best option.

Right now, Sheffield United are producing just about the best attacking football that League One has to offer. They’re creating numerous chances and are scoring plenty of goals. Having scored 12 in their last five, the visitors come into this match with their shooting boots well and truly on. Given the fact that Walsall haven’t exactly defended too well, especially on their own patch, it’s easy to see Sheffield United enjoying another fruitful afternoon in front of goal.

The hosts are on a win-less run in front of their own fans that now stretches back seven matches (all-competitions). In that time they’ve kept just one clean sheet, conceding at least twice on three occasions.

Having recently reached the top of the table, Sheffield United are showing no signs of slowing down and they could very easily kick clear of the rest of the pack on the long run-in. Although they’re away from home, against a team who’ve been struggling for form, Chris Wilder’s men can put in another good display – one that sees them find the net at least twice.
