Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace Prediction

Sheffield United Form

Sheffield United added two wins to their account in their three most recent outings, as they beat Preston by 4-1. Their next match left them empty-handed in a 1-0 defeat against Huddersfield, followed up by a 1-2 win against Birmingham. In their last six Premier League home matches, Sheffield United have three wins, while they've drawn zero and lost three. They scored three and conceded seven goals.

A struggle seems inevitable at this stage for Sheffield United, as the home side look to beat the drop zone and keep their Premier League status.

Crystal Palace Form

In their previous three outings, Crystal Palace won by 2-0 against Bournemouth, drew 2-2 with Fulham, before also drawing 1-1 against Nottingham Forest. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn one and lost three in their last six away in the Premier League.

Finishing somewhere in mid-table will probably be satisfactory for Crystal Palace, who aim to keep the relegation line at a distance in the Premier League.

Sheffield United and Crystal Palace look fairly evenly matched at this early stage, and it is a difficult match to call. A draw could do both well.
