Sheffield United are welcoming Newcastle United for another important game after their 3-2 result against Bristol Rovers.
- Sheffield United has the fewest scored goals (8) in Premier League
- Newcastle United have scored more than double the goals of Sheffield United.
It's no vacation for neither Sheffield nor Newcastle United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Sheffield United form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Sheffield United, who have the fewest scored goals (8) in Premier League, have only managed 0 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses from their games here at Bramall Lane. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 17 attempts. With eight home Premier League games in a row without a win, the Sheffield fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Wolverhampton Wanderers game long ago, can be stopped today.
J. Bogle was the last player to score a league goal for Sheffield United and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Sheffield haven't scored in 297 minutes.
A good away victory last time out for Sheffield, who won 3-2 against Bristol Rovers. A Premier League defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Crystal Palace.
This is expected to be a close game, with Sheffield United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sheffield as a small favourite), we find five games. Sheffield United has won two of these, drawn one and lost two.
Sheffield have scored 4 goals here in 8 league matches, a depressing statistic. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Sheffield United have conceded 12 from these games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Newcastle United form and stats
The visitors are W2-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Newcastle are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Newcastle lost away at Arsenal (after extra-time) (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. The game before that, in the Premier League, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Leicester City.
Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka had a great day against Arsenal (after extra-time), but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Newcastle United in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Newcastle, one draw and one defeat.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Newcastle have scored 8 goals in 7 league games away. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Newcastle have conceded 11 goals in their away games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
