Sheffield United vs Tottenham Prediction Match Details
Tottenham travels to relegated Sheffield United to conclude the 2023–24 season at Bramall Lane on Sunday. Spurs need only a point to secure fifth place and a spot in the UEFA Europa League next season.
Sheffield United Preview & Form
Sheffield United have been on a terrible run of form since their promotion to the Premier League, currently sitting at the bottom of the league standings. The team confirmed their relegation last month and is considered one of the worst teams in Premier League history, having only earned 16 points all season. The Blades have conceded 101 goals in the Premier League this season, and they can become the first team in top-flight history to concede at least 103 goals if they let in two goals in the match. Under Chris Wilder’s leadership, the team has lost six consecutive matches and has only recorded one win in their last 15 Premier League matches.
Notably, Sheffield United have struggled at their home stadium, recording only two home wins in the Premier League and losing 12 games. It’s worth mentioning that in their last 10 home games, over 3.5 goals were scored.
Tottenham Preview & Form
Tottenham had a tumultuous 2023–24 Premier League season, but they are aiming to secure a spot in the Europa League for the next season. However, their recent performance has been poor, with only one win in their last six Premier League matches. In their last match, they suffered a 2-0 defeat at home against defending champions Manchester City, leaving their manager, Ange Postecoglou, furious in the press conference. Currently, the Spurs are in fifth place in the league standings with 63 points. A draw in their upcoming match will secure their spot in the Europa League next season. However, if they lose to Sheffield and Chelsea win their final game, Spurs will finish in sixth place, something Postecoglou is eager to avoid.
Tottenham’s away form has been dismal, with no wins in their last five matches, including four defeats and a draw.
