How bitter it will be for the ‘Blades’
The clash between Sheffield Wednesday and the Gunners could be historic. The hosts have lost their last two league games at home to Aston Villa and Brighton by 5-0. Never before in the history of the English top four has a team lost three home games in a row by five or more goals!
With the Premier League’s best offense currently on the road, the home side could struggle to avoid a new negative record. Which Sheffield United vs Arsenal betting tip does the betting pool have to hand?
The visitors have won their last two league games with 6-0 at West Ham and 5-0 at Burnley. The two results show that the “Gunners” are extremely accurate. In 2024, the Capitals have won all six league games and scored no fewer than 25 goals in these encounters
For the showdown between Sheffield United and Arsenal, the prediction of more than two goals by the visitors therefore seems profitable.
Sheffield United – stats & current form
The players from Bramall Lane are the Premier League’s “shooting gallery” with 66 goals conceded. The fact that this number was last exceeded by Ipswich Town in the 1963/64 season with 74 goals conceded after 26 rounds of matches in the top flight shows just how poor this record is.
Furthermore, the home side have only conceded one clean sheet this season – the lowest number in the Premier League. Furthermore, coach Chris Wilder cannot rely on a home bonus. On the contrary, only Burnley have scored less in front of their own fans than Sheffield (2-2-9)
Sheffield’s offense disappoints in front of their own fans
In addition, no team in the Premier League scores fewer goals than the Blades and concedes more at home. Against this background and the fact that the visitors are currently unstoppable offensively, the prediction of an away win with at least a two-goal difference seems worth considering in the clash between Sheffield United and Arsenal.
Predicted Sheffield United line-up:
Arsenal – Statistics & current form
The Londoners are back in the title race thanks to their current run of six league wins in a row. Liverpool are just two points off top of the table. One advantage of the record FA Cup winners this season is that they often find their feet quickly in matches.
The runners-up have already scored the first goal of the game 20 times – more than any other team in the Premier League. On top of that, the attack is also efficient away from home. Together with the champions from Manchester, the Londoners have scored the most goals away from home in the division
Defeat in the premier class is over
Even the interim disappointment in the Champions League in the form of the recent defeat against Porto in the first leg of the round of 16 did not unsettle the visitors any further. Instead, they swept Newcastle out of their own stadium again last matchday with a 4:1 victory.
Bukayo Saka has been particularly creditable in the recently unleashed attack. The striker has scored twice in his last five league games and in his last two away appearances at West Ham and Burnley
Is Saka still on fire?
If he were to strike at least twice again, he would equal the previous records of Dennis Bergkamp (September 1997) and Harry Kane (September 2017), who both scored two or more goals in three consecutive league games away from home.
In view of Saka’s current formidable goalscoring ability, betting tips and odds on his next personal goal celebration in the clash between Sheffield United and Arsenal are also worth a recommendation.
Predicted Arsenal line-up:
Sheffield United – Arsenal Head-to-head comparison / H2H result
Sheffield have lost their last three PL games against the Emirates Stadium outfit, with a disastrous goal difference of 1:10. Previously, the home side had only lost two of their nine league matches against the Londoners (2-5-2).
Sheffield United – Arsenal betting tip
The prediction for the Sheffield United v Arsenal clash is for more than two goals from coach Mikel Arteta’s visiting side. The country’s 13-time title winners are back in with a realistic chance of winning the title thanks to their recent run of six straight victories and will therefore be highly motivated at Bramall Lane.
In addition, the visitors’ attacking players such as Buyako Saka are in impressive form. However, the prediction is supported not only by the Londoners’ recent unstoppable offense with 25 goals in the last six league games, but also by the glaring defensive weakness of the home side.
Sheffield have conceded the most goals in the Premier League and the back line has recently deteriorated once again on home turf. They have conceded no fewer than ten goals in their last two home games
