Sheffield United vs Brighton odds
SHEFFIELD UNITED VS BRIGHTON
If Sheffield United were going to have any chance of staying up this season, they needed to have turned Bramall Lane into an incredibly tough place for opposition sides to come, but so far, it has been completely the opposite. With just two wins from their 14 home games across all competitions this term and Brighton and Aston Villa both hitting five past them in their last two matches, the Blades’ chances of being in the top flight next season are slim. That said, they did beat Luton 3-1 away from home last week, just about keeping them in touch.
Having been one of those two sides to score five past Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in recent weeks, Brighton will be hoping for another successful visit, this time in the Premier League. The Seagulls lost 2-1 to Tottenham last time out, following a 4-1 win over Palace and a 4-0 loss at Luton. Inconsistency has been the buzzword on the south coast.
