Sheffield United Preston North End betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Sheffield United has a tricky lead in this match but we believe it can dominate in some moments of the game and have some chances to score. Despite this, the importance of this game for both teams is immense, since a defeat dictates the elimination in England's most historic competition. In this way, a match very balanced and with few goals is something in mind for this duel.

Analysis Sheff Utd

The home team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (4th Round) after having eliminated Ipswich Town with a away win by (0‑1) in the previous round. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Championship, they got an away win against Norwich City by (1‑2). In the last 10 home matches Sheffield United has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Sheffield United heads into this game motivated after having added an away triumph over Norwich by 1-2, returning to the win after the draw against Sheffield Wednesday. To reach this phase of the FA Cup, the home team overtook Ipswich. In this game against Preston, coach Chris Wilder should use the usual strategy, benefiting possession of the ball and organized attacks, especially through the runners. Leon Clarke is the best Sheffield United finisher with 15 goals scored. Offensive set pieces are a very strong point of this set. For this game the coach can not count on the injured Freeman and Coutts.

Confirmed Lineup: Simon Moore, George Baldock, Danny Lafferty, Jake Wright, Richard Stearman, Ben Heneghan, John Lundstram, Mark Duffy, John Fleck, Clayton Donaldson, Patrick McCarthy.
Coach: P. Heckingbottom.

Analysis Preston

The away team comes to this stage of the FA Cup (4th Round) after a away win by (1‑5) against Wycombe Wanderers. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got a home tie against Birmingham City by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches Preston North End has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 17 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 9 of their 23 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Preston North End kicks off this game with a 1-1 draw against Birmingham, adding the third match followed without losing in official matches. We remember that the moment of this team is positive, since it adds only one defeat in the last ten games played. In this away game, coach Alex Neil should opt for a strategy very similar to the last match in the FA Cup, that is, to favor the defensive organization and the counterattacks. Jordan Hugill is one of the great highlights of Preston North End with 10 goals in all competitions. It seems that the away coach should have the same players as the last game.

Confirmed Lineup: Declan Rudd, Tom Clarke, J. Earl, Paul Huntington, Darnell Fisher, Alan Browne, Daryl Horgan, Daniel Johnson, L. Moult, Billy Bodin.
Coach: J. Welsh, R. Lowe.
