Fulham vs Sheffield Utd – Preview, and Prediction
Fulham vs Sheffield Utd – In a low-key Matchday No. 8 matchup at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon, Fulham takes on Sheffield United.
After seven games, the visitors have only managed one point this season, making them the worst team in the Premier League.
It happened in a 2-2 tie with Everton at home. Sheffield United’s devastating 0–8 home loss to Newcastle two weeks ago cemented their reputation as the primary relegation candidates.
They were totally helpless in a 0-2 loss away at West Ham United last Saturday as well, failing to generate much in the final third.
Even if Fulham’s performance this season has been far from spectacular, they have at least defeated Everton and Luton.
Due primarily to their ongoing struggles adjusting to life without Aleksandar Mitrovic, the Cottagers are far from their prior Premier League form.
Goals are extremely hard to come by for Marco Silva’s team in the 2023–24 campaign. In the first seven games of the campaign, they have scored a maximum of five goals.
In this area, Sheffield United has performed just as poorly, scoring a league-low five goals in seven games.
Fulham vs Sheffield Utd – Betting Analysis
The last time these teams played in the 2021/22 Championship. Sheffield United became the newly promoted team after winning both matches against Fulham without conceding a goal.
Nonetheless, Fulham has a respectable home record against the Blades in this fixture, having won seven of the previous fifteen meetings at Craven Cottage, drawn three, and lost five.
Out of the previous five meetings between these teams, just one resulted in goals on both ends.
Two of the league’s poorest attacking lineups square off in this matchup. Given the significance of the game for both teams—particularly Sheffield United—we anticipate a close, tense game with few opportunities on Saturday.
What are the top odds for the game?
Checking the latest betting odds for this match in the WDW market, victory for Fulham is best priced at 1.65, backing the game finishing all-square is 4 and staking on the win for Sheffield United is 5.6. Those are the best of the prices on offer at the current time.
