Manchester United vs Sheffield United 24.04.2024 Prediction: Premier League

Match Overview

Manchester United and Sheffield United meet each other in a game in the Premier League at the historic Old Trafford in Manchester on April 24, Wednesday. The home team share a deep and historic rivalry with their opponents given that they come from Yorkshire, the county abutting Lancashire, from where United hail.

Key Highlights 

Despite their indifferent season, United are ranked 13th in goals scored per match (1.5 goals). What will worry their head coach Erik ten Hag is that they haven't kept a clean sheet in 6 matches. Manchester United and Sheffield United have not drawn any of their last 4 matches against each other, which points towards another exciting encounter.

Injury Report

Both teams have a long list of injured players in their ranks. For United, the likes of Anthony Martial, Tyrell Malacia and Sofyan Amrabat are a few absentees whereas for Sheffield, Tom Davies, Rhian Brewster and Max Lowe are ruled out among others.

Prediction

Manchester United are the downright favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so comfortably. Ranked 20th in goals scored per match (0.9 goals), Sheffield are last in the league table at the time of writing. They haven't kept a clean sheet in 14 matches, which means that their defence is not very strong. They also haven't won a match in their last 9 attempts to do so.
