Chelsea have finally found their form with their new manager as they won against Tottenham midweek and haven’t conceded a goal in the last three games. They travel to Bramall Lane next on Sunday night, facing bottom place Sheffield who have been in decent form over the past few matches after a devastating start.
Our betting predictions for Sheffield United vs Chelsea match are:
Sheffield United vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Though Sheffield have scored in seven of their last eight matches, they still have scored the second least goals in the league and they now face Chelsea who have been solid defensively. Therefore we suggest betting on Edouard Mendy to keep a clean sheet at odds of 1.95 (betway) giving double returns at minimal risk.
Tammy Abraham was rested against Tottenham midweek and we expect him to lead the attack against a weak Sheffield team. He has been one of Chelsea’s top scorers and even if is substituted in the second half, betting on him to score at odds of 2.10 (WilliamHill) is another good bet.
We expect Chelsea to dominate the match and win comfortably against bottom sided Sheffield United. Hence we suggest betting on the exact scoreline being 0-2, 0-3 or 0-4 at odds of 3.40 (betway) giving high returns at minimal risk.
Quick Rich
Mateo Kovacic has started every match under Tuchel and has been integral to the squad. Therefore betting on him to have over three tackles at odds of 4.00 (WilliamHill) is a good bet giving high returns.
Jorginho was the man of the match against Tottenham midweek and has also established himself as the first choice penalty taker again. He will be important against a defensive Sheffield side to create chances and therefore betting on him to win the man of the match at odds of 13.00 (WilliamHill) gives high returns at a small risk.
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea are favourites to win the match as they should have too much quality for an unbalanced Sheffield side who though have won three of their last five matches, will need to give their best to pull of a shock. Hence we predict Chelsea to win the match at odds of 1.50 (WilliamHill), which is one of the safest bets of the match giving decent returns.
Bet During the Match
Hakim Ziyech was rested against Sheffield and if he starts the match against Sheffield betting on him to get an assist at odds of 2.50 (WilliamHill) is another good bet.
Chelsea overall form: LWDWW
Sheffield United overall form: LWWLW
