Sheffield United vs Everton Correct Score Predictions
The first of our tips is in the correct score market and it can be backed on Betking at 49/10.
Correct score prediction: 1-1
1×2 Predictions
The away side are the favourite in the Sheffield United vs Everton 1×2 market but it is not decisive. They are yet to secure a win this season despite some spirited performances at Goodison Park. Scoring remains a real issue for Sean Dyche’s team and it could prove costly if they are unable to find a remedy in the coming weeks.
Sheffield United were camped in their half for the majority of their game against Manchester City. They didn’t manage a single shot until after the 70th minute but they almost pinched a draw with a late goal. They were pegged back once again by Rodri but Paul Heckingbottom would have been happy with his player’s application to the mammoth task at hand.
The last three meetings between these sides have been settled by a solitary goal and I’m expecting another tight affair. The draw is available at 11/5 on BetKing.
Draw No Bet Predictions
The draw no bet gives us the chance to back a side to win but get our stake back if our 1×2 prediction comes to fruition.
Everton were arguably the better team in their 1-0 defeats against Wolves and Fulham. Things could finally click for them here so I’m siding with the visitor for this game.
The Toffees are 69/100 on Betking in the DNB market.
BTTS Predictions
Everton had plenty of attempts in the defeat last weekend. They have failed to score in the Premier League so far but that is largely down to wastefulness in front of goal. Sean Dyche’s side have an xG of 5.21 after three matches.
They are taking on a Sheffield United side that has the 4th highest xGA in the league. This bet has landed in the Blades’ last two matches in the Premier League so expect chances at both ends here.
Alarm bells will be ringing for the visitors if they fail to pick up some points here. Likewise, Sheffield United are also desperate to get points on the board. Expect each team to adopt a gung-ho approach in some stages here.
Our Analysis of the Sheffield United vs Everton Match
Sheffield United have been busy in the transfer market in recent weeks but there is no time to slowly integrate their acquisitions into the starting eleven.
The Blades operate with the same formation as they used under Chris Wilder during their last Premier League stint. They favour solid organisation but they aren’t afraid to commit men forward in the attacking phase.
Sean Dyche was brought in to save Everton last season and he duly delivered. The former Burnley manager has a stellar reputation for winning battles at the bottom of the table. However, it remains to be seen whether he can take this side forward while shackled with financial fair play constraints.
Everton lack an out-and-out scorer and this has meant they have been able to pick up the points that their performances have merited so far. With the exception of the 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa, Dyche’s team have played reasonably well. They have had plenty of attempts on goal and that should continue this weekend.
Top Scorers Predictions for Sheffield United vs Everton
It’s difficult to pick out a goal scorer prediction for this one but this means we get some appealing odds on Betking.
Respective weaknesses will lead to entertainment
Both of these sides are expected to be involved in a battle against the drop this season. Sheffield United will need to improve at home if they are to have any chance of remaining in the top flight. Gustavo Hamer has been brought in and he could provide some much-needed spark for Sheffield.
Everton have struggled since Carlo Ancelotti departed the club and they have been able to invest as heavily as they’d like in the transfer market. Sean Dyches’s side showed they are capable of earning important wins at the end of last season. Gueye, Doucoure and Onana form a solid midfield but they lack the cutting edge in attack.
