Sheffield United vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Devesh Jaganath in FA Cup Predictions
Sheffield United will face off against Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday evening. The hosts are currently bottom of the Premier League standings, while the visitors are seventh. Sheffield United emerged victorious in their first FA Cup encounter, securing a 4-0 win at Priestfield Stadium against Gillingham. James McAtee and William Osula both scored two goals each in the victory. That result halted a run of four matches without a win, including three losses and a draw. In league terms, the Blades have struggled this season. They are rooted to the bottom of the table, managing just ten points in 21 games. They are seven points behind Everton, who are the first side above the dotted line. Despite the fact that Sheffield are unbeaten in their last six matches against this opponent, with three wins and three draws, they are the underdogs in this encounter.
Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion are enjoying another solid season to date. They have taken 32 points from 21 league games and trail the top five teams by eight points. The Seagulls also booked their place in the knockout stages of the Europa League, ending top of their group with 13 points in their six group-stage matches. In this competition, they beat Stoke City 4-2 in the last round, with Pervis Estupinan and Lewis Dunk both scoring in the match, while Joao Pedro netted a brace. Brighton followed that result up with a 0-0 draw at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers, which extended their recent unbeaten run to five matches in all competitions. However, their away form has been less impressive, with just one win in their last five. Despite heading into this match as the favourite, the visitors cannot underestimate this opponent, who they have failed to beat in their last six attempts.

Our Sheffield United vs Brighton Prediction
While Brighton head into this match as the clear favourites, their away form this season has not been the greatest, while Sheffield have shown tremendous fight on their home patch of late despite not getting the results to match the effort. Neither side has been good defensively this season, so we’re expecting a few goals in this one. Therefore, our Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion prediction: Over 1.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
