Newcastle vs Sheffield United Prediction

Newcastle Form

Newcastle hope to get back to winning ways after first beating Fulham by 0-1, before winning 4-0 against Tottenham. The streak ended in a recent 2-0 defeat against Crystal Palace. Newcastle claimed three wins in their last six matches at home in the Premier League, while also drawing three but lost none. They scored 18 and conceded ten goals.

Newcastle went into the season with the ambition of qualifying for a European competition. They still have all to play for here at the business end of the season.

Sheffield United Form

Sheffield United were unable to pick up a single point in their last three matches, as they were first beaten 2-0 by Brentford. Next up, Burnley won 1-4, before losing 4-2 against Manchester United. Sheffield United managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 13 time and letting in eight.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Sheffield United, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.
