Sheff Utd v Wolves

Sheffield United vs Wolves Preview

Sheffield United are still seeking their first win of this new Premier League campaign as The Blades sit rock bottom of the English top flight table with just one point to their name and having been dealt a heavy 5-0 defeat away from home at Arsenal, the hosts look a very fragile unit indeed, while Wolves extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to five games after holding Newcastle United to a 2-2 draw at Molineux last weekend.

We have only reached the start of November and Sheffield United are already looking to be in grave danger as the Yorkshire club have lost nine of their opening 10 games upon their return to the top flight with Sheffield United manager, Paul Heckingbottom, looking to be just one more defeat away from being shown the exit door.

Only a 2-2 draw at home with Everton has saved Sheffield United's blushes of losing all 10 of their league matches but having shipped a total of 29 goals already and managing to score just seven in reply, the omens do not look good for The Blades as they prepare for the visit of a resurgent Wolves outfit under manager, Gary O'Neil.

The hosts have lost four of their opening five home games at Bramall Lane and four of these games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals as well.

By contrast, Wolves will be seeking to extend their unbeaten run in the English top flight to six games following a creditable point at home in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Newcastle United at Molineux and having picked up important wins against Manchester City and Bournemouth in recent times, the west midlands club now occupy a much more acceptable looking 12th place in the Premier League table.

Wolves had begun the new season in disappointing fashion as they had recorded just one victory from their opening five games which came in the shape of a 1-0 win away from home at Everton but had also slipped to losses against Manchester United, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Liverpool.

Nevertheless, Wolves have staged an important and solid recovery in subsequent matches which also includes picking up points in draws with Luton Town, Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

Wolves have recorded wins on the road at Everton and Bournemouth so far this season so they will be confident they can get the better of a struggling Sheffield United outfit this Saturday.

Sheffield United v Wolves Verdict

Wolves have held the upper hand in recent previous exchanges against Sheffield United as the west midlands visitors have won each of the last three meetings on the trot and given their recent improvement in form, Gary O'Neil's side look the more likely to take the spoils here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Wolves win @ 1.90

Other side bets worth considering:

Wolves win & Over 2.5 goals @ 3.00

Correct score: Wolves 2-1 @ 9.50
