Sheffield United Vs Brighton Preview & Prediction (14:00 KO)
Sheffield United are on track for an immediate return to the EFL Championship after struggling in the Premier League this season.
However, Chris Wilder’s side won’t be going down without a fight. Victory at Luton Town last time out demonstrates the Blades are capable of producing positive results.
With that said, the gulf in class has been plain for all to see. The step up in divisions has proven a bridge too far for the South Yorkshire club.
Other than the win at Kenilworth Road, United have only recorded two wins in England’s elite. 1-0 against Brentford and 2-1 against Wolves.
Brighton & Hove Albion have enjoyed another fruitful campaign so far. The Seagulls form has been fairly topsy-turvy in recent weeks but they are perched in the top-half of the table.
A heartbreaking last-gasp defeat at Tottenham on match week 24 will not have dampened their spirits ahead of Sunday’s clash.
Although, United did pick up an unlikely point when the two teams met at the Amex in November. An own goal from Adam Webster shared the spoils.
It’s hard to see Roberto De Zerbi’s side not leaving Bramall Lane with all three points. Albion boast a much stronger and more talented squad which should prove too hot to handle.
Prediction: Sheffield United 1-3 Brighton

Sheffield United Vs Brighton Betting Tips
- Brighton To Win @ 4/6
- Evan Ferguson To Score Anytime @ 13/4
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 23/4
Sheffield United Vs Brighton Betting Tip 1: Brighton To Win @ 4/6
Brighton’s away form has been very indifferent of late. The Seagulls have lost their last two on the road in the Premier League.
With that said, they did stick five past the Blades at Bramall Lane in the FA Cup 4th round in January. This bodes very well for our first betting tip.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side are in need of a league win away from the Amex. The home of bottom club Sheffield United provides the perfect platform to achieve that. The best UK betting sites think the same at 4/6.
Sheffield United Vs Brighton Betting Tip 1: Evan Ferguson To Score Anytime @ 13/4
Brighton’s teenage sensation Evan Ferguson scored in the Seagulls last away victory in the Premier League against Nottingham Forest.
All in all, Ferguson has six goals in 22 appearances in England’s elite this term. His overall physicality should prove too much for Sheffield United’s defence.
The 19-year-old has been used mainly off the bench in recent months. That is why we have looked at him to net anytime against the Blades at 13/4.
