Crystal Palace vs Sheffield Utd Prediction & Betting tips
Crystal Palace and Sheffield United meet each other in the 25th round. The supporters of both clubs feared prior to the season that their club would have a very difficult time in the Premier League. Nothing turns out to be less true: Crystal Palace is in eleventh place and Sheffield United is even in eighth place.
Crystal Palace:
The number eleven of the ranking is therefore Crystal Palace. The Eagles have collected thirty points in 24 competitions and will not be dissatisfied with that. Last season you needed at least 35 points to maintain yourself and it must all go really well if Palace does not end the current season above forty points. If that happens, there is no chance that Palace will eventually end up under the relegation line.
However, Crystal Palace is currently not in the best shape. The team of Roy Hodgson has not won a game this calendar year and that is a bad thing anyway. In fact: for the final victory of Crystal Palace we have to go back to Boxing Day when The Eagles were 2-1 too strong for West Ham United. At Crystal Palace, they were able to prepare optimally for meeting the competition with Sheffield United; Crystal Palace had no cup obligations last weekend and was last in action more than a week and a half ago. Southampton at the time was 0-2 too strong for Londoners.
Sheffield United:
The month of February has just begun on the day Sheffield United visits Crystal Palace. All the better that at this stage of the season Sheffield United can still be found – as a PhD student – in the Premier League’s row of rows. The Blades are neatly in eighth place and are actually sure of enforcement. At least, Sheffield United probably needs a few more points to maintain himself and those points will grab The Blades.
Last weekend, Sheffield United had obligations in the FA Cup. Sheffield United managed to win 0-2 on a visit to Millwall and now faces the winner of the replay between Reading and Cardiff City in the next round. Chris Wilder’s team is currently running less well in the Premier League, as Sheffield United won only one of the last six league games. Wilder welcomed the Dutchman Richairo Zivkovic to the training field this week: the attacker will be hired from Changchun Yatai in the coming six months. The question is of course whether Zivkovic, who is not known for his easy personality, will make minutes in the first of Sheffield United.
