- Sheffield United is in the worst form (0-1-5)
Sheffield United could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Premier League game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Burnley, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sheffield United.
Crystal Palace form and stats
2-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Crystal Palace so far this season.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Leicester City in the Premier League last time out and are looking for a win here. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Aston Villa.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Crystal have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost three.
Crystal has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Sheffield United form and stats
Sheffield United, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Premier League, have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Premier League, after 0-1-6 (7 played). Sheffield are desperate to end a 16-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Wolverhampton Wanderers fixture.
A 0-1 loss hosting Everton before that.
Sheffield are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, four draws and two defeats. From a total of seven matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sheffield as they have only managed to score 4 times from 7 away games in the league. For Sheffield United, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Crystal Palace wins - draws - Sheffield United wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
