Brentford vs Sheffield United Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 13/04/2024, 01:59  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions

Brentford attempt to ease their relegation worries with a home win over Sheffield United. The Bees are 15th in the Premier League with the visitors bottom of the table. Brentford are four points above the relegation zone and their next three games are all against sides below them in the table. After this home match against Sheffield United, they travel to Luton Town and Everton. Brentford have drawn their last three league matches, most recently a 3-3 draw at Aston Villa, a game they led 3-2. Nine league games have been played since their last win and five at home. The last three home league fixtures have all ended level including that dramatic game against Manchester United. Eight of the last nine home league fixtures have seen both teams get on the scoresheet.

Sheffield United are nine points from safety and it's all but ten due to their terrible -52 goal difference. With just seven games remaining, a return to the Championship looks very likely. The Blades have gone seven league matches without a win with no victory since beating Luton in February. Last weekend saw them rescue a point with a late goal at home against Chelsea. It's wins that they need at present if they are to escape the bottom three. Only one away league game has been won this season with 11 games lost. They still have to play Burnley and Nottingham Forest and that, along with this game are ones they need to win. It's difficult to have confidence in either side to win and we opt to go for both teams to score.
