Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Sheffield United
English Premier League, KO: 13:30 Feb 25, 2024, Molineux
WOLVERHAMTON WANDERERS will look to continue their climb up the Premier League table when they meet Sheffield United at Molineux on Sunday afternoon.
After slumping to a 2-0 defeat at home to Brentford a fortnight ago, Gary O'Neil's side rebounded in style with a 2-1 win away at Tottenham Hotspur last Saturday.
That capital triumph has put Wolves on the cusp of a place in the top half of the table, with the Old Gold currently level on points with 10th-placed Chelsea.
Back at their Black Country base this weekend, the Wanderers will fancy their chances of putting another three points on the board at the expense of Sheffield United.
Relegation looms for Chris Wilder’s beleaguered Blades, who remain rock-bottom after their 5-0 battering from Brighton last Sunday.
Whilst the Steel City outfit are just seven points from safety, they are clearly going to need a minor miracle to avoid the top-flight trapdoor.
Outright Betting
Despite losing their last two Premier League home games, Wolves are comfortable 4/9 favourites on UniBet to get back to winning ways at Molineux.
One of Sheffield United’s three Premier League wins this season came against Wolves but the Blades are big underdogs to repeat the trick at 6/1 (Bet365) while the draw is an unfancied 15/4 (Bet 365).
Betting Angles
Wolves are fair 4/9 favourites here but we can back the hosts to overcome a -1 hurdle on the Asian Handicap at 4/5 (UniBet) and that looks like a worthy boost in price.
This selection means if the hosts prevail by two or more goals we will be paid out, if they win by a solitary strike then stakes are returned, and that should give us a good run for our money.
Wolves will be buoyed by last week’s 2-1 at Tottenham and they should put another nail in Sheffield United’s relegation coffin on Sunday.
Gary O’Neil’s side have already beaten the likes of Man City, Tottenham and Chelsea at Molineux this season, not to mention they have overcome a -1 hurdle in three of their last four top-flight victories.
It’s also worth pointing out that a sizeable 12 of Sheffield United’s 18 Premier League defeats this season have been by a margin of two goals or more.
With all that in mind, backing Wolves with a -1 start on the Asian Handicap on Sunday seems like a sensible solution at 4/5 with UniBet.
I’ll also opt for a player-based selection by siding with Pedro Neto in the To Score or Assist market at 4/5 with PaddyPower.
The Wolves talisman has racked up 11 goal involvements in 16 Premier League appearances this season and a home game with hapless Sheffield United looks like a prime opportunity to add to that tally.
