Sheffield United vs Aston Villa predictions for Wednesday’s round 29 of the Premier League at Bramall Lane in Sheffield. Sheffield United at the bottom of the table host ambitious Aston Villa aiming for a top-five place. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Sheffield United have surrendered to their faith
Mathematically, Sheffield United can survive in the Premier League with 13 matches left to play in the season. But that will take more of a miracle to happen.
As if Coach Chris Wilder’s problems are not enough, now he faces a massive injury setback as five of his main defenders are injured. He will urge his medical staff to work hard for the fast recovery of the players.
In their last match, The Blades lost away to Fulham 1-0 and were dominated by their opponents in all aspects of the game. They had just two shots on goal in that match and it has been the story throughout the season as they have scored just 15 goals in 25 matches.
Aston Villa to take their chances of reaching the top four
Aston Villa have been unstable in their latest matches, to say the least. The Villans haven’t won two consecutive games since boxing day in December.
Dean Smith will feel his team has a great chance to reach the top four as they still have two matches in hand and a win here in Sheffield can take them above Tottenham and Everton.
A win in the weekend at Leeds will definitely boost their confidence. Villa scored in the first five minutes and had their third clean sheet in five games.
Key Stats
Sheffield Wednesday vs Aston Villa Prediction
Sheffield United have had a terrible season so far, although they had some great results in recent weeks beating Manchester United at Old Trafford and West Brom at home, they just seem to be on their way to the Championship.
If Aston Villa can find the form they had in Leeds, they can easily secure the much sought-for-three points even if Jack Grealish, one of their main influential players is missing with a leg injury. We predict an away win.
