Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace will be an interesting game between two very different teams. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

This will be a good game. Sheffield United just got promoted back to the Premier League after spending a single season in the Championship. They will be very motivated to start with a good result, so we definitely expect a goal from them. On the other end, we are curious to see how Palace will start the new campaign as they were incredibly impressive at the end of the previous one.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

Crystal Palace have always struggled against this opponent and we think that they will have a very tough match here. Crystal Palace were one of the teams that were at risk of getting relegated last season until they turned it all around and made an incredible run. We doubt that the team will be this effective this early in the season and this is why we doubt that they will win on the road.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-2 Draw

We expect a high scoreline in this match and we also think that it will end with the points being divided. When we compare the Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace line ups, we definitely think that the visitors have the better squad but Sheffield played a brilliant campaign in the Championship and they could become a problem for the bigger teams.

Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace Team Previews

Sheffield United Preview

Sheffield United played an incredible campaign in the Championship and managed to get promoted back to the elite after only a single season. They were one of the two top teams and had the third best attack in the league. We think that they will have their chances against the weaker teams in the Premier League but also may be a problem for the elite clubs.

Crystal Palace Preview

Crystal Palace played an extraordinary campaign last year. At least, the last few months were incredible. They were about to get relegated and then after some swift changes, they won a series of matches and even got close to the top positions in the table. We doubt that Crystal Palace will be this strong for long but the team may win some points against the top teams.
