Sheffield United vs Chelsea prediction and betting tips on April 07, 2024
One of the matches on Sunday's game day in the 32nd round of the English Premier League will be played at Bramall Lane, where the local Sheffield United will host Chelsea. Here's the prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Sheffield United
Chris Wilder's team returned to the elite division last season, finishing second in the Championship behind Burnley. It seems likely that this pair of teams will also leave the Premier League together at the end of this season. The "Blades" visited Anfield in the previous round and suffered a 1-3 defeat, although they managed to equalize during the match.
As a result, Sheffield United has been unable to win for six consecutive matches, losing four times. Currently, the "Blades" sit at the bottom of the league table, with 15 points from 30 matches. They are 10 points behind the 17th-place position.
Chelsea
The "Aristocrats" invested exorbitant amounts of money in strengthening their squad, yet they have achieved the same result as last season. In the previous round, Chelsea staged a phenomenal comeback at home against Manchester United. After scoring twice early in the match, the "Blues" once again revealed their defensive vulnerabilities and conceded three goals.
Just when it seemed that the match would end in another defeat for Chelsea, Manchester United conceded a penalty, and then conceded again from a corner. This victory was Chelsea's second in the last three matches, and they are now unbeaten in six consecutive matches. Currently, the "Blues" sit in 10th place in the league table, with 43 points from 29 matches.
