Sheffield United
Preston North End host Sheffield United at Deepdale at 7.45pm on Tuesday, with the bottom club desperate for points against a Blades side sitting comfortably in mid-table.
Our Preston North End vs Sheffield United predictions and betting tips side with the visitors, who have the greater quality and a far steadier platform than a home side that has lost 10 of its 13 matches. Anthony Eadson expects a low-scoring night in Lancashire, settled by the odd goal in the visitors’ favour.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson makes Sheffield United the call at Deepdale and has paired a corners line with a win-to-nil angle that both lean on a struggling home side.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 10.5 match corners | 5/6 (Paddy Power) | Preston North End have won only one of their 13 games and will have to throw bodies forward if they are to get anything here, which should tee up set-pieces at both ends. Sheffield United, by contrast, are happy to sit in and soak up pressure, and a home side chasing the game late on tends to win corners in bunches. With the bottom club needing to attack and the Blades content to defend their box, the 10.5 line looks the sensible way in at a shade of odds-against, especially in a fixture that rarely wants for scrappy, congested passages. |
| Sheffield United to win to nil | 3/1 (bet365) | Sheffield United have kept five clean sheets already and carry the meaner look of the two sides, while Preston North End have drawn a blank in five of their 13 matches and scored just five goals at Deepdale. The hosts sit bottom, have lost 10 times and offer precious little going forward, so backing a tidy away side to win without conceding makes plenty of sense at 3/1. The visitors have the know-how to take the lead and see a game out, and Preston’s blunt attack is unlikely to punish them. |

How Preston North End go into the game
Preston North End go into this one bottom of the Championship on five points, with just one win from 13 games and 10 defeats already on the board. A 2-0 loss at Stoke City last time out was a 10th defeat of a wretched campaign and did little to lift the mood at Deepdale.
Home form has been just as grim, with one win, one draw and four defeats at Deepdale, where they have scored only five goals and conceded 10. The Lilywhites have failed to score in five of their 13 games and are yet to keep a clean sheet all season, so clean sheets and goals at the right end remain in short supply.
How Sheffield United go into the game
Sheffield United arrive 10th in the Championship on 19 points, with five wins, four draws and four defeats from their 13 games. The visitors beat Wrexham 1-0 at home last time out, a result that nudged them back towards the top half.
Balanced is the word for the Blades, who have scored 17 and conceded 15, and they travel reasonably well with two wins, two draws and two defeats on the road. They have kept five clean sheets, a healthy return at this level, and will fancy their chances of frustrating the division’s lowest scorers.
