Sheffield United v Wrexham Betting Tips [7 February 2023]

Sheffield United will have another chance in the FA Cup as they seek to progress past the fourth round; they host Wrexham in a replay after a 3-3 draw in the initial meeting. John Egan scored a stoppage time equalizer for the Championship high flyers after their early lead was overturned by the National League side. In the same game, Sheffield United had to finish with 10 men after Dan Jebbison was sent off with 20 minutes to go. The hosts will hope to handle Wrexham better this time and they are coming from a 0-0 draw with Rotherham United in the Championship, a performance they need to better. That draw in the league means Sheffield United are now 11 matches unbeaten. While it was a first time in five without scoring, Sheffield United have now posted three clean sheets in their opening five games. They’ve scored two or more in three of their last five matches while four straight home wins place them in a confident mood going into this game. The hosts have three wins in the last four FA Cup matches at home and have a good run at home in all competitions. Sheffield have scored more than a goal in five of eight home matches and they’ve won five of eight home games.

Wrexham are also bringing on board a strong run; a 2-1 win over Altrincham was a good way to warm up for this game. They lost to the same team on post match penalties in the FA Trophy back in January, after a 2-2 draw so they were on a revenge mission. That is the closest they’ve come to a loss in 24 matches; Wrexham haven’t lost in normal time in that duration. They’ve however not been very strong defensively, posting just two clean sheets in 10 matches and conceding two or more in three of the last five. Both sides have scored in four of Wrexham’s last five matches and they’ve made up for their defensive weaknesses with a good scoring run. In the last 11 matches, Wrexham have scored two or more goals. They have six wins in the last seven away matches but with just three clean sheets in 10 on the road. Their away run in the FA Cup is however poor; in the last eight away matches in this competition, Wrexham have only managed one win.

Sheffield United are on a good run at home and will be looking to finish the job here. They have scored more than a goal in five of eight home matches and in the last four FA Cup matches at home, they have three wins. They face a side with just one win in eight away FA Cup matches. Our prediction for Sheffield United v Wrexham is for the home team to win.
