Sheffield United vs Newcastle United – Preview
The Blades have shown improvement in recent weeks. They were outplayed for 90 minutes against Crystal Palace, but have been more competitive in subsequent matches.
The 2-1 loss at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium was a fair result, but it will feel like a major setback for a team that led late in the game and had worked hard throughout.
Newcastle United are in a difficult position after playing out a hard-fought 0-0 draw in Milan on Wednesday. This is a new experience for the Toon.
Although it’s a short flight and ample rest, post-Champions League fixture lists are notoriously tricky from a betting point of view. A number of teams seem to fall flat.
The visiting team has not recorded a clean sheet in the Premier League away from home since January 23rd, and they have failed to win nine of their previous 13 outings.
The Blades’s disappointing defeat last weekend isn’t likely to dampen their spirits, but rather they’ll double down on their efforts.
Paul Heckingbottom’s team will likely look to start quickly and play at a high tempo to see if they can take advantage of any lingering tiredness in Newcastle’s legs.
It is impossible to deny that Sheffield United gave the Champions of Europe a run for their money prior to coming within minutes of beating Spurs.
However you dress it up, it doesn’t change the fact that Newcastle are unbeaten away from home against teams outside the European places since March of 2022.
It won’t be easy, but it seems like the home team could use the tempo and atmosphere to their advantage and get a draw against a top team.
Predicted score
- Sheffield United 1-1 Newcastle United
Sheffield United vs Newcastle United – Suggested bets
- Sheffield United +0.5 Asian handicap
