Sheffield United vs Brighton Prediction & Match Preview

Sheffield United vs Brighton
English Premier League
Date: Saturday, 22 February 2020
Kick-off at 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Venue: Bramall Lane (Sheffield).

Sheffield United picked up the win when the two sides locked horns in the reverse fixture. With Brighton arguably at their worst on the road, count on the hosts to complete a double come Saturday.

United pulled off a stunning comeback against Bournemouth at home last week as they went from 1-0 down to 2-1 up at the last blast of the whistle.

The hosts have now secured maximum points from their past two games in the top flight, and have been at the losing end just once in their previous five as well.

Deservedly, the Blades are now sitting sixth on the ladder, one point adrift of fifth-placed Tottenham.

On the other hand, things have not been going according to plan for Brighton. The guests shared the spoils for the second time in a row after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Watford in their most recent clash.

It is also worth mentioning that the visiting contingent have just one win to boast from their past ten fixtures.

With just twenty-seven points to their name, Brighton are now a lot closer to falling into the relegation zone than they are in catching up with the hosts.

Sheffield United vs Brighton Prediction

Home advantage has been working its charm for the Blades in their recent clashes here. Impressively they have stumbled just once in their past seven matchups at home. That too, in all competitions.

In sharp contrast, Brighton are without a win in each of their last five outings on the trot. Miserably, they have garnered just three measly points from a possible fifteen as well.

To make matters worse, the visitors have come out on top in just one of their previous three trips to this stadium. Taking into account that the visitors failed to secure the bragging rights in the reverse fixture as well, Sheffield United are sizing up to be the favorites in this one.

Furthermore, the hosts have not looked sharp in their own defensive third lately. In fact, they have conceded a goal or more in five of their previous seven fixtures here. Meanwhile, Brighton have found the back of the net four times from their last two outings alone.

Considering that they have also had their names on the scoresheet in each of their last three visits here, count on Brighton to deprive Sheffield of a clean sheet this weekend.
