Bottom side Sheffield United’s quest for a first away win of the season takes them to the Amex on Sunday afternoon as they face Brighton.

The Seagulls are big favourites for the win on most leading betting apps, but the Blades will be in a confident mood following their first home win of the season last time out. So do our sports betting experts think this is a home banker, or do they think a surprise is in store? Read on to find out. 

Two victories over Ajax in the Europa League have put the Seagulls in pole position to qualify for the knockout stages. However, Roberto De Zerbi will be slightly concerned about his side’s dip in Premier League form. No wins in five have seen them slip down to mid table following a superb start to the season.

The hectic fixture schedule, plus a growing injury list, have been the big problems for De Zerbi. A home fixture against the bottom side in the division could be exactly what the Seagulls need to get their league campaign back on track.

Sheffield United’s last gasp win over Wolves last weekend will have given the bottom side a huge boost as they attempt to climb the Premier League table. But whilst those three points will be more than welcome at Bramall Lane, Paul Heckingbottom still needs to find a solution to his team’s abysmal away form.

Five defeats from five away games, including a 5-0 thrashing at Arsenal last time out, represents the worst record in the division. Avoiding defeat on Sunday would be a massive boost for the Blades in their relegation fight.

Head to Head

The Blades are unbeaten in their last six games against Brighton. That run includes two wins from their last three visits to the Amex. Brighton’s last win at home to United was back in 1987. Overall, United hold a 14-9 lead in meetings with the Seagulls.

Our statistical highlights for the game are full of vital insights aimed at giving the best chance of landing a winning bet. So before you assess the betting odds for the fixture, don’t forget to go through these stats.

Brighton are currently priced at just 1/4 to claim all three points. Sheffield United are big outsiders at 12/1, whilst the draw can be backed at 6/1.

Clearly, Brighton are the better team here, but their odds are just too short, especially given their form, injury list and the fact they played on Thursday night. Therefore, our betting bonus tip for the game is for a draw.

We also think that United’s win last week will have boosted their confidence immeasurably. Whilst this game represents a far bigger challenge, they are playing the Seagulls at the perfect time. 6/1 for a draw looks like excellent value.
