Brentford

Sheffield United-Brentford

Can Sheffield United end their bad run?

Sheffield United | LLDWL | 20th | Top Scorer: O. McBurnie (2)

Picking up points has been a problem for Sheffield United and they've lost 3 of their last 5 matches. On average, in their last 5 matches, Sheffield United have had less possession and shots than their opponents. Oliver Norwood has been rock solid defensively for Sheffield United this season. However, in his last 5 games, he's averaged only 1.2 tackles per match.

Brentford | WLLWW | 11th | Top Scorer: B. Mbeumo (6)

Following recent results, Brentford find themselves in a mid-table position. In their last 5 games, they've won 3, lost 2 and drawn 0. With an average of 1.83 xG (expected goals) per game, Brentford rank 6th in the league so they're likely to get their fair share of chances here. They'll likely continue to lean on Bryan Mbeumo, who has been a key playmaker all season. He's recorded 54 passes into the box so far this season (2nd in the EPL). One stat to note, key aggressor Christian Nørgaard will be looking to improve after recording just 1.6 tackles per match in his last 5.

Sheffield United-Brentford Prediction: 1-3

This is a difficult proposition for Sheffield United. They'll need to carry a threat in attack if they have any chance of outscoring Brentford.
