Swansea vs Sheffield United Predictions and Betting Tips: Championship Preview

Swansea vs Sheffield United predictions and betting tips for this Championship match on Saturday evening fixture with a goals prediction and anytime goalscorer included.

This is a repeat of the opening day fixture which saw Swansea nick three points in their first competitive game under Graham Potter. A lot has changed since that day with the Blades recovering quickly from that blow whilst the Swans have largely been treading water in mid-table. Sheffield United bounced back from their FA Cup exit with a superb 1-0 win over QPR and I expect them to dominate this game. The addition of Keiran Dowell has given them another option in midfield and I suspect they will leave South Wales with three points and gain revenge on their hosts. Swansea’s inability to keep clean sheets is a huge concern and they cause their downfall here.

Swansea vs Sheffield United Predictions

Chris Wilder’s side are firmly in the running for promotion this season and they will see this as a decent chance to pick up three points. Sheffield United have won four in a row and six of their last nine Chamoionship games and they should be able to add to those recent victories. They have the fourth best away from in the division and haven’t been defeated on their travels since November 3rd when going down 1-0 at the City Ground. Swansea sit comfortably mid-table and it’s a season of transition for Graham Potter.

The former Ostersunds-boss has had to deal with a small squad and he hasn’t been able to add to his squad so far in January. The Welsh sides problem has been their inability to keep a clean sheet and that could be a real issue against the free-scoring Blades. They have a record of W10, D7, L10 and are the epitome of inconsistent. They’ve only beaten one side who currently sit above 11th and that was against today’s opposition on the opening day of the campaign. I expect the away side to get revenge today with Wilder’s side having only lost to sides in the top nine on their travels so far this campaign. Sheffield United Win is the first of our Swansea vs Sheffield United betting tips for today.

 

Swansea vs Sheffield United Goals Predictions

Sheffield United have the best record for scoring 2+ goals on their travels this season and they’ve managed to notch a couple on eight of their 13 matches away from home. Barring Ipswich, they’ve scored twice against all bottom half opposition away from Bramall Lane. They have several different options up front and have stockpiled forward players. This gives them a number of different options and they can change things around in the second half if Swansea prove to be stubborn opposition.

The Swans have conceded two goals in five home matches this season with Leeds, Norwich and West Brom all finding the net on more than one occasion here. The fact that they conceded twice here to Wigan is a huge concern with the Latics struggling for firepower on the road and I expect Wilder’s side to grab a couple here. Over 1.5 Sheffield United Team Goals is priced at 7/5 with Betfair and is the second of our Swansea vs Sheffield United predictions.

 

Swansea vs Sheffield United Anytime Goalscorer Betting Tips

It’s hard to ignore the form of David McGoldrick at the moment and he netted the Blades winner last weekend. He’s on ten for the season although he’s scored five in his last six and is currently enjoying a purple patch. He netted during Sheffield United’s last away win and he should get plenty of service once again here. He is likely to start alongside Billy Sharp here and at a slightly better price, the former Ipswich man looks like a good bet. He is the third of our Swansea vs Sheffield United betting tips.

 

Swansea vs Sheffield United Match Preview

Despite being the away side in this fixture, Sheffield United have been priced up as the favourites and can be backed at 11/8. The Swans are available at 15/8 whilst the draw is a possibility at 12/5.

Plenty of goals are expected in this game and Over 2.5 Goals has a good chance of landing and is a tempting price at Evens. Those who wish to take it one step further are available at 12/5. There have been at least three goals in seven of Swansea’s last nine games in the Championship and it’s also paid out in four of the last six games for the visitors. Both Teams to Score? Yes is priced at 8/11 and could also be tempting.

Corners are likely to be prominent with an average of 13.69 per game. It’s 5/6 for Over 10.5 Corners in this one.

Our anytime goalscorer tip – David McGoldrick is the joint favourite to grab the first of the match and can be backed at 5/1 alongside Billy Sharp. Leon Clarke, who is likely to come off the bench is available at 11/2 to break the deadlock. For Swansea, McBurnie is likely to be on penalty duties and is priced at 11/2 as well.
