Sheffield United vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 21/08/2019, 11:34  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 21/08/2019 at 12:34 in Premier League Predictions

Sheffield United are back in the Premier League but strongly fancied to be relegated this season. They have been defying their critics though and are eighth in the table after their first two league games. Sheffield United began the season with a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, coming from behind to get the point. They followed that up with a 1-0 home win over Crystal Palace to give them four points out of six. Winning at home is going to be important for them this season as they bid to avoid an immediate return to the Championship. Only one of their last 11 home league games have been lost with nine wins in those games.

Leicester City have made some good signings during the summer but of course also lost Harry Maguire. They haven't quite been firing on all cylinders yet and after two games are 12th in the table coming into this game. Both of their two fixtures have been drawn with a 0-0 stalemate at home against Wolves followed by a 1-1 draw at Chelsea. Away form for Leicester isn't that great with only two wins from the last nine games in the Premier League. A bet on under 2.5 goals looks the one to go for.
