Sheffield United v Newcastle Betting Tips [5 December 2019]

The Blades are currently 9th in the Premier League just three points ahead of 16th place Newcastle after 14 games and they welcome Steve Bruce's side to Bramall Lane.  

This event has been proven to be very difficult to achieve for the Premier League sides so far with Sheffield United remaining stubborn in defense when traveling teams come to play. They have beaten Arsenal and could Manchester United and top of the Liverpool table also struggled when they were the winning guests 1-0 thanks to a Dean Henderson mistake. 

The Blades have drawn three on the bounce and four of the last five Premier League matches. Although they did not eat New York. The Magpies have won two and drew two of their last five matches with a 2-2 draw against Manchester City last Saturday. A late Johnjo Shelvey strike his side at St.James' Park.  

However, their last road trip to Aston Villa, Newcastle was beaten 2-0 which was a fifth in the Premier League and a fourth defeat in five. Chris Wilder's side meanwhile has been resolute in defense and has just conceded seven goals against the United against. Before then they had back-to-back 1-0 wins and have recorded that score-line at home in the league winning two and losing two.  

The visitors have failed to score in one of their last four games and one of their four Premier League wins this season. Newcastle have won the last three meetings between these two goals. 

Lys Mousset seems to have found his scoring touch in Sheffield United colours after netting five goals in 11 appearances since his move and I think we could see more than one goal here with Newcastle perhaps scoring from a corner giving the absence of John Egan in the backline they might fancy themselves from a set-piece and giving the fact that 61.54% of their goals this season have been scored by defenders this season they could grab one here so I’m going to tip both teams to score here.
