Sheffield United v Southampton Betting Tips [14 September 2019]
The match
It has been nearly five years since Sheffield United (tenth, five points) and Southampton (13th, four points) have played each other, in any competition. When it comes to league fixture, 2009 was the last time these sides played when they were in the Championship. This Premier League fixture, hence, might not be swayed too much by the historical data between the sides. Sheffield have started their life back in the top-flight for the first time since 2007, with a run of three unbeaten games in four (W1, D2, L1). That included a creditable 2-2 draw at Chelsea just before the international break. Sheffield’s home form looks very impressive, with the Blades having won ten of their last 13 matches at the Bramall Lane in all competitions (W10, D1, L2). As for Southampton, this match comes on the back of a 2-0 away win over Brighton and an impressive 1-1 draw at home against Manchester United. Tellingly, the Saints have not gone unbeaten in three Premier League games in a row since a run of five (W2, D3) between Jan-Feb this year. This is a chance for them to do so, although the international break couldn’t have come at a worse time.
Key Statistics
- Sheffield are unbeaten in three H2Hs (W2, D1) in all competitions, with their last loss coming in 2008.
- Sheffield have avoided defeat in four of their last five matches in all competitions (W2, D2, L1).
- Both teams scored in seven of Southampton’s last ten Premier League matches.
The bet of our experts
These sides are expected to be in the lower half of the Premier League table come the end of the season, so expect this to be a six pointer. Sheffield will sit back on their impressive home form in all competitions to continue their good start to life back in the Premier League, while Southampton will look to continue their good run prior to the international break. There are goals in this fixture and don’t be surprised if it ends in a draw.
