Sheffield Utd vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting tips
On Thursday evening, a wonderful duel between two English tradition clubs is scheduled on Bramall Lane. Sheffield United then receives Newcastle United in-house, a competition in which struggle and commitment are at least as important as football being put on the mat.
Sheffield United:
At Sheffield United they are confident that they can get a good result on Thursday evening if Newcastle United is the opponent on Bramall Lane. That has everything to do with the recent form of Sheffield United, which has already been unbeaten seven games in a row. The only downside to that series of seven games is that The Blades managed to turn only two of those seven games into a win. Moreover, the last three games of Sheffield United all ended in a draw.
This was also the case last weekend when Sheffield United played an away game visiting Wolverhampton. The Blades already took the lead in the second minute by a goal from Lys Mousset, but in the end The Blades had to settle for a 1-1 draw at the Molineux. Sheffield United coach Chris Wilder, on the other hand, can live with all those draws in recent weeks, because the most important thing for Wilder is that he must protect The Blades from relegation. With nineteen points, Wilder is well on the way to achieving that goal.
Newcastle United:
Steve Bruce has been given the same objective at Newcastle United as his colleague from Sheffield United: Bruce has to keep up with Newcastle United and no one cares as long as it happens. For the moment, Newcastle United is doing a lot less than Sheffield United, because The Magpies are in the right row and have taken a total of sixteen points. There is no reason to panic yet for Bruce and his men, because Newcastle United still has a reasonable lead over the teams under the relegation line.
Newcastle United has been in great shape in recent weeks. The Magpies recently won against West Ham United (2-3) and AFC Bournemouth (2-1). Newcastle United then lost 2-0 to Aston Villa, but last weekend The Magpies again booked an excellent result against champion Manchester City. At St. James’ Park, the players of Newcastle United fought back twice and a 2-2 draw against Manchester City is a great result for a club like Newcastle United. The only problem at Newcastle United is the results in away games, as The Magpies lost four of the last five.
