Sheffield United – stats & current form

With the Blades from Sheffield, the experts were very wrong a year ago. In many places, the climber was classified as the number one relegation candidate. In the end, going back to the championship was never an issue for Chris Wilder’s team, because the team was at the top right from the start.

In the end, the Europa League is gambled away

Up until the end, the newcomer was in the middle of the battle for the Europa League qualification, at times the team was even fifth in the English Premier League table. In the final statement, the Wilder was finally shown in ninth place.

The wear and tear of strength were particularly noticeable in the last few games, Sheffield United ended a splendid season with three defeats and gambled away their participation in the UEFA Europa League through these bankruptcies. Sheffield United lost four league games en suite for the last time seven years ago – in September 2013 – but at that time the team was still represented in the third-tier League One.

The strong defense as the key to success

Two keys to the successful season last year were, on the one hand, the strength at home and on the other hand the outstanding defensive work. At Bramall Lane – the oldest professional stadium in England – the Blades celebrated ten wins (three draws, six defeats).

The strong defensive can be seen not only in 39 goals against (fourth-best defensive in the league) but also in the fact that in 2019/20 only 114 shots on goal allowed on their housing, the lowest value in the entire league. This is the lowest value in the English Premier League since the popular OPTA stats were introduced.

The start of the league could be a special anniversary for head coach Chris Wilder. He has celebrated 99 wins in 195 league games so far, and should he succeed in his 100th he would be the first Sheffield United coach to break that mark in under 200 games. The best bookmakers offer between Sheffield United and Wolverhampton for the prediction of the home win betting odds of around 3.50.

The probable formation of Sheffield United:
↳ Ramsdale – Egan, Robinson, O’Connell – Stevens, Berge, Fleck, Lundstram, Baldock – McBurnie, Mousset

Wolverhampton – stats & current form

For Nuno Espirito Santo’s team, the end of the season was also unsatisfactory. The Wolves were even able to dream of qualifying for the Champions League for a long time, but due to only two wins in the last six league games, the team from the industrial city was still ranked and ultimately even missed re-qualification for the Europa League.

In just that, the Wolves had to admit defeat to the eventual winner from Sevilla in a narrow game due to a late goal in the quarterfinals with a wafer-thin 0: 1.

No loss on matchday 1 for seven years

The lack of a double burden with international appearances could be a big advantage this year. Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is an advocate of rotation. As often as possible, he selected the identical team and the players had accordingly many minutes of play in their legs.

This is certainly an explanation for the weak finish. The battery should now be full again and in full power, the Wolves can certainly be put above the blades in terms of quality. Besides, a look at the statistics shows that Wolverhampton has not lost an opening game in seven years (three wins, four draws). On Monday evening between Sheffield United and Wolverhampton, the tip brings the guests 2.40 times the stake.

The British are a minority

When it comes to the Wolves’ squad, the number of Portuguese players is striking. Player advisor Jorge Mendes is closely connected to the club and accordingly guides many of his players to the Premier League club. Just recently, a proud 40 million euros were transferred to FC Porto for the youngster Fabio Silva. However, the 18-year-old teenager will still need time to compete in the Premier League.

While the blades are almost exclusively British (second most game minutes in 2019/20 for British players), the Wolves are completely different. British players in Wolves’ shirts stood on the pitch for only 4,336 minutes, and not a single goal (league, Europa League and cup competitions) was scored by an Englishman during the entire season.

The probable formation of Wolverhampton:
↳ Rui Patricio – Coady, Boly, Saiss – Vinagre, Neves, Dendoncker, Moutinho – Jota, Jimenez, Traore

Only two of the last 13 league home games against Wolverhampton Wanderers were lost (7-4-2 record), last year the promoted team celebrated a 2-1 success at Bramall Lane.
