Sheffield United vs Everton Prediction and Betting Tips | September 2nd 2023

Sheffield United will welcome Everton to Bramall Lane in the Premier League on Saturday, as both teams look to record their first win of the season.

The hosts have lost their first three league games of the season with a one-goal margin. Last week, they suffered a narrow loss to reigning champions Manchester City at home. Jayden Bogle had equalized in the 85th minute after Erling Haaland broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute of the game but Rodri bagged the winning goal for City just three minutes later.

Their poor form continued in the Carabao Cup second round on Wednesday. The match against Lincoln City ended goalless after 90 minutes, and Sheffield went on to suffer a 3-2 loss in the penalty shootout.

The visitors have also lost three games in a row in the Premier League, including a 1-0 home loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers last week. They managed to record their first win of the season in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday as late goals from Beto and Arnaut Danjuma helped them defeat Doncaster Rovers 2-1.

Sheffield United vs Everton Prediction

The Blades are winless in their last four home meetings against the visitors, failing to score in three games in that period. They have scored two goals in three games thus far, unlike the visitors, who have failed to score in three games thus far. They also failed to score in their Carabao Cup defeat and might struggle here.

The Toffees opened their goalscoring account for the season in the Carabao Cup and will look to score their first goal of the Premier League season on Saturday. They are unbeaten in their last four trips to Bramall Lane and will look to build on that form in this match.

Considering the poor form of the two teams in the league thus far, we back them to play out a low-scoring draw.

Prediction: Sheffield United 1-1 Everton
