Newcastle vs Sheffield Utd Match Preview And Prediction
Newcastle vs Sheffield Utd: Newcastle makes its first visit to St. James’ Park since a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham on April 13. This weekend’s score might be comparable for their supporters. In Gameweek No. 35, the Magpies take on the dreadlocked Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon.
In the last four Premier League home games, Newcastle has won three and drawn one. The previous weekend, Sheffield United lost to Burnley at home and gave up four goals. In his preceding four Magpies games, Alexander Isak scored five goals.
Newcastle has experienced difficult times in Premier League season. Their ongoing injury issues have kept them from matching the success of the previous season. Eddie Howe’s team does, however, appear to have reverted to form in April. They had won three of their previous four league games and drawn the other two going into their midweek matchup with Crystal Palace.
In midweek, Sheffield United was also in action. On Wednesday night, they traveled to Old Trafford to play Manchester United. The Blades are still solidly positioned at the bottom of the Premier League rankings. Seven days earlier, they lost painfully at home to Burnley, another team fighting for relegation.
Newcastle vs Sheffield Utd: Betting Analysis
The match was played in September of last year at Bramall Lane, and Newcastle United won handily, 8-0. In their last five meetings with Sheffield United, the Magpies have prevailed four times. In the five previous head-to-head meetings, there were no goals scored on either side.
This season, Newcastle defeated Sheffield United in one of their biggest victories ever. Based on all we’ve seen from these two teams in recent weeks, another goal fest is definitely in the works here, even though they might not put eight goals past them once again. In two of the last three league home games, the Magpies scored four goals or more.
In their home game against teams like Burnley last weekend, Sheffield United only allowed four goals. This Premier League season, the Blades have suffered defeats in 12 of their 16 away games. When playing on the road against a Newcastle team that is playing well, they have no chance of success.
Newcastle to win in -1.5 Asian Handicap at 1.60 odds is the primary wager. With Alexander Isak to score at any point and 1.72 odds, the value is even better. Isak has recently been outstanding for Newcastle. In his last four games for the Magpies, the Swedish attacker scored five goals.
