Sheffield United vs West Ham PL Betting Preview: An Introduction

According to online sportsbook news in the UK, Sheffield United go into the fixture as the underdogs, with West Ham the favourites. The game will be played on Sunday, the 21st of January. Playing at Bramall Lane, Sheffield United host West Ham at 14:00 GMT. The game is set to be an exciting encounter as the two teams will both believe they have what it takes to beat the other.

Going into the fixture, Sheffield United are in 20th with 9 points. Last season, the club were impressive in the Championship, securing qualification into the top flight in England. West Ham, on the other hand, are in 6th with 34 points and will be desperate to keep winning and moving higher in the EPL table as they look to seal another year in European football.

Head to Head

• West Ham are undefeated in five Premier League games
• The Hammers have won three of their last four games
• Sheffield United defeated Brentford 1-0 at home on the 9th of December
• The Blades have lost three of their last five games, drawing once and winning once
• Last time these two teams played at Bramall Lane, West Ham won the match 1-0

Sheffield United Sit Bottom of the Table

As things stand, the Blades will be desperate to win at home against West Ham. The team are bottom of the table and a gap between them and safety from the relegation zone appears to be widening every week. Sheffield United have only 9 points from 20 league games. They have won twice, drawn three times and lost 15. The bright side for the Blades is that their only two wins were both at home, meaning they may have a chance of winning again with another victory at Bramall Lane.

At home, Sheffield United have played ten games, winning twice, drawing once and losing seven. They have scored 10 league goals but conceded 24 at home. Chris Wilder, back at the helm after managing them previously when they were in the Premier League, will be hoping to guide his team to a win and potentially avoid facing the drop at the end of the season.

West Ham to Continue Winning?

The last time David Moyes’ West Ham lost a game was on the 10th of December when they were hammered 5-0 against Fulham. Interestingly enough, that appears to be a one off game, with West Ham in 6th and Fulham in 9th. Since that loss, the Hammers defeated Wolves 3-0 at home and cruised past Manchester United with a 2-0 home win as well. The most impressive result came just before the new year, when West Ham won 2-0 away from home against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Their most recent fixture was at home against Brighton, which resulted in a 0-0 draw against the Seagulls.

As things stand, West Ham are 6th in the league with 10 wins from 20 league games. They have drawn four and lost six times. Effectively, West Ham have scored 33 goals but conceded 30, leaving them with a goal difference of +3. Away from home, West Ham have won five of their 10 Premier League games, drawing once and losing four times. The Hammers have scored 16 goals but conceded 20. It appears that David Moyes is finally getting a tune out of his player, having successfully guided them to the UEFA Europa Conference League trophy at the end of last season.

Player Specials

The best thing about BC.Game Sportsbook, and other sportsbooks for that matter, is that they offer a plethora of betting markets to players. If you do not want to bet on a team to win or the number of goals that will be scored, you can always explore alternative betting markets. One of the most popular variants is player props, which are essentially bets on specific players during a match.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have failed to make a big impression in front of goal this season. Their leading goal scorer is Oliver McBurnie, who has found the back of the net three times this season. One of his three goals was a penalty against Manchester United, a match which the team lost 2-1 at Bramall Lane.

A bet on Oliver McBurnie to score against West Ham would pay out greatly. However, you may want to steer clear of it. For even more rewarding odds, James McAtee to get an assist against West Ham seems like a more likely bet. The youngster has two assists so far this season, but is one of the only bright sparks for the Blades this season.

Perhaps the most popular bet for Sheffield United would be Oliver Norwood to be carded against West Ham. The midfielder has already had 6 cards this season and could be a sure-fire way of making a killing from the player prop.

West Ham

Our other Sheffield United vs West Ham PL betting preview suggestions would be to back Jarrod Bowen to score against Sheffield United. The English winger has already scored eleven goals in the Premier League this season and is in the form of his life. He could be the difference maker to the game on Sunday. Bowen may score and a bet on James Ward-Prowse to get an assist vs Sheffield United could be the way things go down. The English midfielder has already registered six assists this season, leading the charts for his team.

West Ham are known for being a very physical and conservative team. One of their star players is defender Edson Alvarez, who has been praised by multiple fans this season. The odds of Edson Alvarez to be fouled and carded against Sheffield United are huge. It could be a bet worth considering for the upcoming Sheffield United vs West Ham Premier League match.
