Blues to get back on track
Once again, we witnessed Chelsea’s progression come to a halt when they were left frustrated with a 2-2 draw at home to Burnley. Despite having 33 shots and 12 corners, Pochettino’s side couldn’t secure the three points.
However, recent results suggest they have improved. Wins and plenty of goals against Newcastle and Leicester City have shown Chelsea are a great attacking side. This is further backed up by their numbers during those games.
Sheffield United have been poor all season long and seem to be destined for relegation. Recent draws have shown fight, but they simply concede way too many goals. Chelsea should return to winning ways in this fixture.
Bet 1: Chelsea to win and over 2.5 goals @ 1.73 with Bet9ja
Hosts can make life difficult
Although Chelsea boast a five-match unbeaten run, they have conceded two goals in all of those matches. Defensively, there are a lot of concerns for Pochettino to address.
Sheffield United have just secured back-to-back draws against Bournemouth (2-2) and Fulham (3-3). Yet, they failed to maintain their leads in both.
The hosts may have rediscovered their goalscoring ability. Yet, problems at the other end of the pitch have been a common theme throughout the season.
No doubt they can get on the scoresheet and expose Chelsea’s weak defence. Still, keeping the London side at bay will be an extremely challenging task.
Bet 2: Chelsea to win and GG @ 1.80 with Bet9ja
Big-priced correct score prediction
For those looking for a big-price correct score, Chelsea to win the game at 3-1 around 10.50 seems to be a great bet.
Sheffield United have conceded 16 goals in their last five matches. With Chelsea continuing to score plenty on their own, the Blues should be aiming to add plenty more on their visit to Sheffield.
In the most recent head-to-head, Chelsea ran out comfortable 2-0 winners when favourites, but dominated throughout. If they bring that performance to the table, they should be able to score three goals past the worst defence in the Premier League.
However, with Sheffield scoring five in their last two, they too can get on the scoresheet and hopefully land us a big-priced winner.
Bet 3: Chelsea to win 3-1 @ 10.50 with Bet9ja
All aboard the corners bet
Goals frequently lead to corners and that’s exactly what we expect in this fixture.
Sheffield United conceded 15 corners alone against Fulham. Meanwhile, Bournemouth hit double digits against them in their recent 2-2 draw.
Chelsea’s match against Burnley saw 16 corners, while the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge saw 13 corners between both sides.
Priced just over evens for 11 or more, expect plenty of set pieces at Bramall Lane between these two sides.
Bet 4: Over 10.5 corners @ 2.01 with Bet9ja
