Fulham v Sheffield United Betting Tips [7 October 2023]

Gameweek eight in the English Premier League will see Fulham take on Sheffield United at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon. The hosts are currently in eighth place after the first seven games of the season, while the visitors are at the foot of the table. Following the departure of Aleksandar Mitrovic in the summer, Fulham have made an inconsistent start to the campaign. They have managed eight points so far with a record of two wins, two draws, and three losses. The Cottagers will be looking to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Chelsea last week. However, that loss did bring an end to a three-match unbeaten run, which included a third-round Carabao Cup win over Norwich City. In three league matches at home this season, the hosts have won one and lost two. Despite their iffy start to the season, against a newly-promoted side here, Fulham are the clear favourites to win this match.

Meanwhile, Sheffield United’s return to the top flight has not gone as they would have hoped. They have managed just a single point in their first seven matches of the season, which came in a 2-2 draw against Everton. The Blades lost their last match 2-0 to West Ham, but the alarm bells began ringing the week before when Newcastle smashed eight past them on home soil. The visitors were also sent packing from the Carabao Cup in round two by lower division outfit Lincoln City at the end of September. Undoubtedly, Paul Heckingbottom is now under major pressure, and major questions will be asked about his future at the club unless he can find a few good results soon. Can The Blades get a much-needed first win of the season in this one?

While Fulham are yet to hit the heights they showed last season, they will be licking their lips for this match. Sheffield United have failed to get out of first gear, and based on their performances so far, it looks as though they will do well to avoid the drop this season. We will be having a go on a home win here, but our accumulator play will be on the safer side with our money back in case of the draw. Our Fulham vs Sheffield United prediction: Fulham Draw No Bet.
