LiontipsWolverhampton vs Sheffield United. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 FA Cup (January 9, 2022).
Command Analysis
Wolverhampton are demonstrating a very defensive style of football this season. An average of 1.5 goals is scored in games with their participation, and in only 3 games out of 19, the sides overcame the total of 2.5 goals. The Wolves sit in 8th place in the Premier League table, so we must admit, this strategy has been somewhat paying off. Recently, the Wolves recorded a goalless draw with Chelsea and a narrow victory over Manchester United (1:0).
Sheffield Unitedare on a four-game winning streak in the Championship, but they are only in 13th place in the second-strongest league table. The Blades look decent on their travels and chalked up 18 points away from home, which is the third result in the league. However, Sheffield managed only 14 goals. In four of the last five rounds of games, Sheffield kept a clean sheet. The Blades conceded goals only to Cardiff (3:2).
Trends
The Wolves didn't concede in 3 straight games.
Sheffield didn't concede in 4 out of 5 previous games.
3 out of 7 games of Wolverhampton ended in a goalless draw.
Tip and bets
Both sides build their game through defense and rarely concede, and we don't believe this game will be any different from most recent head-to-head games, where the opponents failed to overcome the total of 2.5 goals.
Our prediction - total under 2.5 goals
We also suggest taking a risk and playing a draw here. The visitors often keep a clean sheet, but it is hard to break through the Wolves' defensive line. Wolverhampton often end their matches in draws.
Second wager - draw
