Fulham will be looking to maintain their recent good form as they travel to Sheffield United for a Premier League fixture on Saturday. The Cottagers have been almost unstoppable lately and should be too strong for Sheffield, who are looking doomed to get relegated.
The Premier League has proved too much to handle for Sheffield United, who have spent the entire campaign rooted to the bottom of the table. They have picked up just one win from 28 matches and are eight points from safety.
Sheffield United head into Saturday’s clash winless in their last four Premier League matches. Chris Wilder’s men did play out a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth in their previous fixture as they threw away a two goal lead from Gustavo Hamer and Jack Robinson.
Things have been particularly rough for Sheffield United at Bramall Lane as some of their heaviest defeats have come at home. The Blades have already lost 8-0 to Newcastle United this season while they were beaten 6-0 by Arsenal in their previous home fixture after suffering back-to-back 5-0 defeats to Aston Villa and Brighton.
Fulham went into the international break in fine form having claimed three wins from their last four matches. They have been on a steady rise in recent weeks and could climb as high as ninth if results go their way this weekend.
The Cottagers were particularly impressive in their previous Premier League fixture as they claimed a 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Rodrigo Muniz netted a brace while Sasa Lukic was also on target.
Although Fulham were beaten 2-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers in their previous away fixture, they have shown some quality on their recent travels. Among the recent away results for Marco Silva’s men is a 2-1 victory at Manchester United.
How the bookies view it
Fulham are considered overwhelming favourites among the bookies and are priced at 8/11 by Unibet. A victory for Sheffield United is valued at 18/5 by BetVictor while bet365 is offering odds of 16/5 for a draw.
Head to head
Sheffield United have a 10-12 advantage with eight draws from 30 previous matches against Fulham. However, the Cottagers claimed a 3-1 victory in the reverse fixture back in October.
Players to watch
Rodrigo Muniz has been pivotal to Fulham’s recent good form, with seven goals in his last seven matches. The striker is priced at 6/4 by Paddy Power to maintain his scoring run on Saturday.
With Sheffield United failing to score in their last three home matches, Fulham will be targeting a shutout on Saturday. Tosin Adarabioyo has been solid at the back and can lead the Cottagers to a clean sheet at 9/5 with Coral.
Anything else catch the eye?
Given Sheffield United’s recent results at Bramall Lane, a win to nil for Fulham could be on the cards at 23/10 with BetVictor. The Cottagers are likely to earn a one-sided win, which means a -1 handicap could also be considered at 15/8 with Paddy Power.
Fulham scored in both halves in their previous fixture and a similar pattern is priced at 6/4 by William Hill.
