Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Sheffield United
The side has been rapidly progressing. In the previous game against Aston Villa, a side that scores a lot, they demonstrated what kind of a defensive playing they wanted to create (1:1). Sheffield United stopped a bright attacking line of Aston Villa, letting them to create only 0,86 xG. In the previous home game, Sheffield United were good in the defensive action too (1:0), allowing their opponents to create only 0,6 xG.
Luton Town
Luton Town are one of the candidates to be relegated. However, they surprise the fans time after time. For example, they beat Newcastle United (1:0). Now, Luton Town are just 2 points behind the 17th place that will potentially spare them from relegation. The Hatters have performed well in two other December games against Manchester City (1:2) and Arsenal (3:4).
Sheffield United – Luton Town prediction
Sheffield United have played more carefully with a focus on defence after a new manager was appointed. For example, in his debut against Liverpool Sheffield United were keeping the intrigue until the very end (0:2), conceding the second goal in added time. The game against Luton Town is supposed to be exciting, too as the away team doesn’t like to risk.
The first thing that both sides will try to do is to keep the clean sheet. I think we have little chance to see many goals.
