Manchester United vs Sheffield United Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Sheffield United have scored the least amount of goals this season and have scored only two goals in their last five league matches, while United have conceded only two goals in their last five league matches keeping clean sheets against top teams like Liverpool and Wolves Therefore betting on David De Gea to keep a clean sheet at odds of 1.75 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Bruno Fernandes maintained his scoring streak, netting the winner against Liverpool from a freekick and already has sixteen goals this season. With him being the first choice penalty and freekick taker, we suggest betting on him to score against a weak Sheffield defence who have conceded the fourth most goals in the league at odds of 1.83 (WilliamHill).
Sheffield United have earned the third most cards this season averaging two cards per match, while United have also averaged more than 1.5 booking earned per match, hence betting on atleast one card being shown in each half at odds of 1.75 (WilliamHill) is one of the best bets of the match.
Quick Rich
Paul Pogba has scored the winner for United in two of the last three matches with both goals coming from long range shots and one of them outside the box. Therefore betting on him to score from outside the box at odds of 12.00 (WilliamHill) gives high returns at a small risk.
Sheffield United and Manchester United have earned an average of 5.1 and 5 corners per game in the league, with Sheffield United conceding the fourth most goals per game this season. Therefore betting on a combination of over 2.5 goals scored, over 10.5 corners conceded and over 2.5 cards given at odds of 4.50 (betway) is a safe bet giving high returns.
Win/Lose/Draw
Manchester United are clear favourites to win the game as the league leaders face a struggling Sheffield side who have only one win this season from nineteen games and also lost the reverse fixture against United in December. Hence we predict a United win at odds of 1.28 (WilliamHill).
Bet During the Match
Martial was rested against Liverpool over the weekend and if he starts the game for United betting on him to have over one shot on target at odds of 2.50 (WilliamHill) is a safe bet.
