Sheffield United
LLWLLL 📉
After tasting defeat last time out to Arsenal in Premier League competition, Sheffield United and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that game, Sheffield United had 19% possession and 4 shots at goal with 0 of them on target. The scorer for Sheffield United was Jayden Bogle (13' Own goal). Arsenal got 22 attempts on goal with 10 of them on target. Martin Ødegaard (5'), Gabriel Martinelli (15'), Kai Havertz (25'), Declan Rice (39') and Ben White (58') scored for Arsenal.
A series of fairly fragile efforts from the Sheffield United defensive players has resulted in a total of 21 goals being scored against them in only their past 6 fixtures. They certainly could do with sorting out this disappointing area of their play.
Going into this contest, Sheffield United have not registered a win against Bournemouth when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
🤜🤛 Head to head
If we look at their past head to head duels going back to 23/02/2013, it’s been all-even between these two clubs with Bournemouth winning 2 of those games, Sheffield United 2 and 2 being drawn in normal time.
An aggregate of 13 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 7 of them from The Cherries and 6 for The Blades. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.17.
The last league contest between these clubs was Premier League match day 13 on 25/11/2023 which finished with the scoreline of Sheffield United 1-3 Bournemouth.

📰 Team News: Bournemouth
Tyler Adams (Hamstring injury), Max Aarons (Hamstring injury) and Ryan Fredericks (Calf injury) aren’t available for Bournemouth gaffer Andoni Iraola.
It’s our opinion that The Cherries will possibly line up in a 4-2-3-1 system for this one and select Neto, Adam Smith, Illia Zabarnyi, Chris Mepham, Milos Kerkez, Ryan Christie, Lewis Cook, Antoine Semenyo, Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier and Dominic Solanke.
📰 Team News: Sheffield United
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has to currently contend with reduced team options. John Egan (Foot injury) and Chris Basham (Leg injury) will not be playing here.
We reckon that The Blades appear most likely to make use of a 3-5-1-1 lineup using Ivo Grbic, George Baldock, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Jack Robinson, Jayden Bogle, Tom Davies, V. de Souza, Andre Brooks, Ben Osborn, Ben Brereton Diaz and William Osula.
🔮 Prediction
We feel that in this game, Sheffield United would be disappointed if they were not to put a goal past this Bournemouth side, but it possibly won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
Our tip is for a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Bournemouth at full-time. It really should be an interesting one.
