Sheffield Utd vs West Ham Match Preview

Sheffield Utd is ranked at the bottom of the table with a single point and comes after just a draw and four losses over the last five matches. They are one of the three teams which are yet to win a game this season losing seven out of eight. It seems quite unbelievable considering how great Sheffield Utd was playing in the previous season but besides the bad luck, they have suffered some injuries too.

Finally, Mousset is back from his injury alongside Fleck, actually, they were two of Sheffield's best scorers last year. Berge is also expected to play after his recovery for Covid-19. Sheffield Utd knows they must make some big changes and playing at home now could be the best place to start.

West Ham, on the other hand, is ranked at 13th place with 11 points and comes after two wins two draws, and a loss over the last five matches. Until now they haven't shown any consistency and this has become a normality for West Ham since the past season as they have been trailing in the bottom half.

They have scored 14 goals so far displaying decent offensive skills but conceded ten, failing to keep a clean sheet in five out of eight games. Still, when they are on a good day they managed to beat teams like Wolves 4-0 and Leicester on the road 0-3. Pretty alternatives in attack for them with the trio Benrahma-Bowen-Antonio expected to start.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Sheffield Utd will have to dare more here because having only one point leaves them no other choice. Their rivals have a leaky defense so they should have their fair share of chances. West Ham should score here too and I think they could even score the first goal because they usually start attacking.
