Contents
Total match goals – Over 3.5 Goals
The first Man City vs Sheffield United prediction is a bet on the total team goals and we are tipping at least 4 goals in this PL clash. Despite the absence of key players, Man City remains a high-scoring side. They have scored at least two goals in their last 6 games across all competitions while Sheffield only failed to score in one of their last four Premier League matches. Bet on the game to end with at least 4 goals.
Half-time/Full-time prediction- Man City to win both halves
Manchester City are by far the better side in this PL matchup against Sheffield. The Cityzens have never lost a match to Sheffield United in the last 10 meetings, 8 of which were City wins. The odds of 1.10 to win the game with a probability of 91% is not the best price to bet on, but backing Man City to win both halves should fetch some modest betting odds for this game.
Correct score prediction – 3-1 to Man City
As we have already indicated, Man City remains a threat offensively, so we think they will win this game massively but scoring at least 3 goals. We predict a 3-1 scoreline in favour of Guardiola's men.
