The second half of the Premier League has long since begun and the clubs are slowly getting down to business. The present duel can confidently be called a basement duel because the two opponents are in the last places in the table.
So it comes as no surprise that both clubs haven’t had much to celebrate this season. This is especially true for Sheffield United, who did not go as a loser in only four league games. Nevertheless, the bookmakers at Sheffield United vs. West Brom indicate a sensitive advantage for the hosts with their odds.
As for the results so far, the guests made a much better impression than Sheffield. West Brom was able to cause surprises again and again, especially when abroad, as Liverpool and Man City have already lost a point.
Since the hosts ‘home balance reads like a disaster report, we at Sheffield United vs. West Brom cannot fully understand the bookmakers’ prediction. Correspondingly, however, there are outstanding betting odds for our interpretation of the starting position.
Sheffield United – Statistics & Current Form
The bottom of the table was absolutely disastrous in the league for 17 rounds. Now, in the last four games, we could finally celebrate two wins, so we can speak of a small upward trend.
Almost always harmless at home
In the ten home games so far, they have already lost eight and a total of just six goals were scored in their own stadium. The home win against Newcastle achieved at the beginning of the year can definitely be described as a “one-day fly”.
In general, the offensive has so far hardly proven to be suitable for competitions, because overall there was just a little more than half a goal per game so that no goal was scored at all in more than half of all league games.
One defeat follows the next
With a total of 17 defeats in the north of England, people are now used to failures. Even if an opponent who can be beaten is the guest, success cannot be expected for a long time, because any team is dangerous for Sheffield.
Since so far only one game has been played without conceding a goal, we are also predicting at least one goal against Sheffield United vs. West Brom, which means that a home win in the next game is a long way off.
The probable lineup of Sheffield United:
Ramsdale – Ampadu, Egan, Basham, Bogle, Baldock – Fleck, Lundstram, Norwood – Burke, Brewster

West Brom – Statistics & Current Form
For West Brom, last year’s promotion to the first class could only be enough for a short interlude in the Premier League, because nine points are currently missing to stay up.
So it needs counters as quickly as possible and for that, the duel with the bottom of the table actually comes on the spot, after all, West Brom was already victorious in the first duel of the season.
Only an away win for West Brom
However, there has only been one success abroad, but at least three draws have been recorded abroad. West Brom has scored in the last five outings and has scored a total of ten away goals. The “Baggies” are therefore superior to the upcoming opponent in this respect.
If your own box can be kept fairly tight, then at Sheffield United vs. West Brom a tip on the guests should pay off more than the odds suggest.
Will, you beat Sheffield again?
As our Premier League suspensions/injuries show, the entire team is ready for the upcoming game. The hopes of at least one goal lie to a large extent on youngster Pereira, who is the top scorer with six goals this season.
Overall, the away team has so far made a slightly better impression than the hosts, which is why we cannot fully understand the odds offered at Sheffield United vs. West Brom. At least one point gain can be expected from WBA.
The probable lineup of West Brom:
Johnstone – Ajayi, O`Shea, Bartley – Furlong, Livermore, Gallagher, Gibbs – Snodgrass, Pereira – Robinson
