Match Preview

Touted as one of the favourites for relegation in pre-season, Championship strugglers Burton Albion have done little to dispel the negative summer opinions about their team. Nigel Clough’s men did beat Millwall in their last league match to pick up their first win for nine games, though their escape from the relegation zone feels like it will be a brief one. The Brewers have been unable to find the back of the net with any consistency – at present only Birmingham City have scored fewer goals than they in the Championship have.

In the weeks prior to today’s free Burton Albion vs Sheffield United preview, the home team have conceded far too many goals, shipping sixteen in their last seven matches. That sequence included two four nil drubbings at the hands of Wolves and Aston Villa as well as a 4-2 pounding at the Pirelli Stadium by Barnsley.

Sheffield United are surprising everyone with their excellent league performances in 2017/18 and the Blades are in hot pursuit of table-topping Wolves as we approach the busy Christmas period. Manager Chris Wilder has been on the receiving end of plenty of praise ahead of this week’s Burton Albion vs Sheffield United betting tips, and his players have managed to win eleven of their sixteen matches in England’s second tier. Away from home, it’s been a little less rosy however, Utd have won just 50% of their eight matches on the road so far.

Burton Albion vs Sheffield United Prediction and Betting Advice

Fresh from a resounding 4-1 over Hull City, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, the away team featured in our Burton Albion vs Sheffield United bets will be full to the brim with confidence ahead of their latest clash at the Pirelli Stadium. Wilder’s warriors have now won nine of their last twelve league matches, collecting twenty-seven points from a possible thirty-six.

The fragile home side have already lost five of their eight games in front of their own supporters and following a series of batterings, their defensive record is now the joint worst in the division. When a team are the second lowest scorers and the worst defensively at the other end, they are always going to come out the wrong side of bookmaker’s Championship soccer odds. No other side in the league has let in more goals at their own stadium than the Brewers. Second-placed United know that three points should be a formality if they are in their game. We discovered that the odds available at 10Bet are the best way to back our selection. Their value is unparalleled.

The porous defence of the home side analysed in our free Burton Albion vs Sheffield United predictions again played a huge part in shaping our English football tips today. In each of Albion’s last five fixtures at the Pirelli Stadium, there were over 2.5 goals scored. Their opponents scored four times in three of those games, which is further evidence that Clough’s backline is one of the worst in the Championship.

The visiting team to Staffordshire on Friday have also been serving up some exciting football of late. Three of their last four outings saw over 2.5 goals smashed home. The aforementioned 4-1 over Hull City was preceded by back-to-back 2-1 wins over Reading and Leeds. Interestingly, the Blades have only stopped the opposition scoring once in their last five attempts. Even though their results are ultimately good, they do allow their rivals to create goal-scoring situations quite regularly. Ladbrokes have the goal markets covered for this game, so we recommend you use them when backing our second prediction.
