Before Betting On Sheffield United vs Man United  

It hasn’t been the start to the season that Man United would have been hoping for, as the Red Devils are languishing down in tenth place in the standings. United have won just half of their eight matches this term, with defeats being suffered in their remaining four matches. However, confidence would have been taken from their recent fixture, as they scored twice in second-half injury time to record a 2-1 win over Brentford.

There will be limited confidence in the Sheffield United camp coming into this showdown, as they are still waiting for their first win this term. They are one of just two sides in the Premier League that remain winless at this stage of the campaign. Their record of seven defeats in eight matches leaves them sitting bottom of the standings at this early stage.

The Blades have a poor record against the Red Devils, as they have landed just two victories in the last ten league meetings between the sides. Furthermore, United have netted at least once in all ten previous Premier League clashes between the sides. Sheffield United are one of just three sides that United have a 100% record of scoring against in the Premier League.

United’s record against newly promoted opposition could be a challenging trend to overlook this weekend, as they have landed victories in each of their last nine. This is their longest winning sequence against newly promoted sides since landing 12 victories on the bounce between May 2011 and March 2013.
