Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Full Time Result – Sheffield United to Win – 2.00
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Both Teams to Score – YES – 1.85
Sheffield United to Win
The visitors have a travelling record against teams of Peterborough’s ilk that is hard to ignore. The Sheffield United boys have won four out of six against teams that currently reside in the bottom eight, losing only one of the other two, and we shouldn’t focus too much on that, as they were beaten by Derby County, who but for a hefty points deduction would be comfortably clear of the bottom eight.
Moreover, the hosts come here out of form, while they were heavily beaten by a team close to Sheffield United in the table when last in action at Weston Homes Stadium. Their recent defensive efforts point towards trouble against a visiting team that could easily be quite a bit higher up in the standings.
Both Teams to Score – YES
Peterborough don’t have a great home record against top-half teams, that’s for sure, but they’ve not been shy offensively in such games of late, scoring in three of their last four home games against teams that currently reside in the top half. Similarly, if we discount their loss to Derby for the same reason as above, Sheffield United have a 100% scoring record on the road against teams currently in the bottom eight.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Peterborough vs Sheffield United
For a club of Peterborough’s size, staying in the Championship was always going to be a difficult task, and their struggle has been an uphill one from pretty much the word go. Moments of promise have generally been overshadowed by long winless runs. Right now, Saturday’s hosts are without a win in four league matches, three of which they’ve lost.
Fortunately, nearly all of Posh’s best work has been carried out in front of their own fans, where a record of four wins, four draws and four losses isn’t terrible. OK, they don’t win enough at home, but they’re not overly easy to beat, losing only two of their last six at West Homes Stadium. Moreover, they’ve only conceded more than once in one of their last five at home, which given their standing, is something to shout about.
Quick Rich
At a bigger price than the selections above, ‘Rhian Brewster to Score Anytime’ appeals. The young forward hasn’t exactly set the world alight since joining from Liverpool, though he’s not exactly had the best time of things in terms of injuries, and since returning to the fold, his light has once again started to shine.
Following a goal and all round solid effort on just his second start back last time out, Brewster looks a decent bet to find the net against a Peterborough defence that lacks solidity.
Peterborough vs Sheffield United Team News
Peterborough are expected to be without the services of Joel Randall, David Cornell and Dan Butler, while Ronnie Edwards is a doubt too. The ultra experienced Adlene Guedioura is out for Sheffield United, as is Jack O’Connell.
Starting Line-ups
Peterborough: Benda, Kent, Thompson, Beevers, Mumba, Taylor, Norburn, Burrows, Poku, Clarke-Harris, Marriott.
Sheffield United: Foderingham, Basham, Egan, Robinson, Bogle, Norwood, Hourihane, Norrington-Davies, Ndiaye, Sharp, Brewster.
Highlighted Player
Morgan Gibbs-White
The on-loan Wolves midfielder has shown no shortage of quality in the Championship this season, so much so that he’s now a key player for the Blades. Five goals and four assists from his central role highlight the importance of the youngster, who has the ability to dictate in games against struggling sides.
