Sheffield Utd vs Nottingham Prediction & Betting Tips (4 May)

Good last in the Premier League with only 16 points taken in 35 games, Sheffield United are already assured of playing at the lower level next year. The red lantern is impatiently awaiting the end of this nightmarish exercise, as evidenced by its current series of 11 games without a win, 3 draws and 8 defeats. The Blades appear completely demobilized. After managing to hold off Chelsea 2-2, they lost to Brentford 2-0, Burnley 1-4, Manchester United 4-2 and Newcastle last weekend 5-1. Sanctioned with a withdrawal 4 points inflicted by the Federation, Nottingham Forest are threatened by the descent with only 3 games remaining.

Indeed, Morgan Gibbs-White's partners are currently 17th in the Premier League, with the same number of points as the first relegated Luton who drew yesterday. Having been slow for several weeks, they have only won one of their last 10 championship matches, for 3 draws and 6 defeats. After sharing the points with Wolverhampton 2-2, Nottingham Forest lost to Everton 2-0 and Manchester City last weekend 0-2.

Many elements are missing for Sheffield United this weekend. We find in the infirmary the defenders Egan, Lowe, Norrington-Davies, Basham and Baldock, the midfielder Davies and the attackers McBurnie (6 goals in PL) and Jebbison. Also absent of late, replacement striker Brewster is doubtful.

Winter recruit Brereton Diaz (5 goals and 1 assist in 11 PL games) has shown good things since his arrival at the club. However, the red lantern has the worst attack and the worst defense in the championship.
