Sheffield Utd vs Burnley Prediction & Betting Tips (20 April)

Not at the level this season, Sheffield United occupy 20th and last place in the Premier League with only 16 points taken in 32 games. The red lantern is already almost condemned to the descent of 10 units of expenditure on the 17th. Without a solution, the Blades have not had any success in the last 8 days, 3 draws and 5 defeats. After managing to hold off Chelsea 2-2 in front of their fans, they missed a great opportunity to make a slight comeback on the non-relegation side last weekend. Indeed, Sheffield United lost to Brentford 2-0. Also back in the elite this season, Burnley is currently 19th in the Premier League and is 6 points behind the non-relegation leader.

The maintenance operation is therefore off to a bad start. Even if they are still progressing slowly, the Clarets have shown more consistency in recent weeks. Indeed, they have only lost one of their last 6 league matches, for 1 victory and 4 draws. After a frustrating setback conceded at Everton 1-0, Burnley preserved, at home, the share of points against Brighton last weekend 1-1.

Sheffield United's squad is still very weak this weekend. It is necessary to highlight the withdrawals of the starting defenders Baldock, Basham and Egan as well as the usual replacements Norrington-Davies, Lowe, Davies, Brewster and Jebbison. Also absent on the last day, senior defender Jack Robinson is uncertain. Regularly associated lately, attackers McBurnie (6 goals and 3 assists in PL) and Brereton Diaz (4 goals and 1 assist in 8 PL games) could start again this weekend. Sheffield United have the worst attack and the worst defense in the championship.

The Burnley coach still deplores the defections of potentially starting defenders Al-Dakhil and Beyer and interesting wingers Koleosho, Ramsey and Redmond. In addition, executive defender O'Shea has not finished serving his suspension. French Espoirs international winger Odobert (19 years old, 3 goals and 2 assists in PL) constitutes one of the great satisfactions of this delicate exercise. The attacking duo could once again be made up of Foster (4 goals and 3 assists in PL) and winter recruit Datro Fofana (4 goals in 11 PL games).
