Sheffield United Betting Preview

Sheffield United is back from the Championship and there are many who believe their stay in the Premier League won’t last long. Even though they were promoted, Sheffield United has a ton of questions heading into this season. Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge were two of the best players of last years squad, but both have moved onto new teams. Anis Ben Slimane and Benie Traore have both been brought in this offseason and they are going to both need to have big seasons if they want to stay up. Heading into this game, Sheffield United didn’t find a whole lot of success during the preseason. In the last game against VFB Stuttgart, the defense gave up three goals and that led to the defeat. 

Crystal Palace Betting Preview

On the other side of this matchup is Crystal Palace who have high expectations for this season, but they have some big holes to fill. Wilfried Zaha has left the squad and it’s tough to lose their best player. Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze are back though, and both players are going to need to have big seasons. Olise however is dealing with a hamstring injury and it’s hard to imagine that he’s going to be able to go in this game. Crystal Palace has played to at least a draw in five of their last six games. In the last game against Lyon, Crystal Palace scored two goals and that was enough to secure the victory. 

Shane’s Free Pick

This Sheffield United won’t be scoring many goals this season and that is going to really hurt them in this game. Crystal Palace has lost some attacking power, but they are going to find the back of the net at least once, and that will be enough to get the job done here. It might not be the prettiest game, but Crystal Palace will get the job done. Back Crystal Palace on the money line.
