Sheffield United vs. Wolves
English Premier League
Monday, September 14, 2024
Starts 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
Location: Bramall Lane (Sheffield).

Against the backdrop of an impressive season, Sheffield United kicked off their 20/21 Premier League campaign against Wolves at Bramall Lane on Monday night.

Chris Wilder's men finished ninth in the league last season and are back in the top flight after 12 years. Things could have turned out better if not for the defeats in the last three days that denied them a place in Europe and a fifth place in the table.

Conversely, Wolves finished seventh in a season where many high-profile teams underperformed. By their own standards they could be in the Champions League, but that is removed by the fact that they have drawn exactly half of their Premier League games.

It's a new season and new hopes, Sheffield certainly want to repeat what they did last season, while Wolves are confident of improving to finish inside the Europa League zone with their main rivals for the same reinforcement in the summer.

Sheffield United vs Wolves head to head

The last meeting at Bramall Lane was on 8 July and the monotonous match was resolved with a late goal by John Egan from the corner flag.

Meanwhile, the teams settled for a 1-1 draw in the second leg at Molineux Stadium.

Despite this, Wolves have a better record in recent years, as they have had 4 wins out of 8 matches in all competitions, drawing and losing 2 each.

However, only 2 wins have come from their last 6 visits to Bramall Lane and Sheffield have won the other 4.

Sheffield United vs Wolves Prediction

This match could easily be written off as a battle between two prominent defensive units.

Chris Wilder's men were the best defender in the house and the fourth best in the English Premier League.

The Wolves, meanwhile, are fifth best in the league, conceding just over a goal a game on road trips.

But their attacks must be improving, as Sheffield scored more than 1,5 goals in just 6 of 19 home games last season, while Wolves made 8 trips.

Therefore, anyone can choose less than 2,5 goals in this match. Since the odds are below 1,45, I recommend going for Over 1,5 Goals in hopes that one of the teams will make a breakthrough before the 60-minute mark.

It's a risk we take, but odds of 1,60 and above are too good to pass up.

The full-time score is too tight to call and I wouldn't even bother looking for a double chance or not taking any bets for this game.

But, there is little feeling among our analysts that Sheffield United can make their home advantage count and are more likely to score at least one goal, so we consider Wolves the betting alternative to not keep the score blank. . This can also be considered as United to score 0,5 team goals or as the home team to score in either half.

Betting tips for Sheffield United vs Wolves
