West Brom vs Sheffield United Preview
Thursday, August 11th, 20:00 (UK)
In terms of West Brom’s start to the season, it can be labelled as solid rather than spectacular. With Steve Bruce’s men having only picked two draws thus far, they have already ceded ground to those teams at the top of the Championship table.
A 1-1 draw away at Middlesbrough on the opening weekend, was then followed by the same result at home to Watford on Monday night. However, were it not for an Ismalia Sarr missed penalty, the Hornets would have gone back to Vicarage Road with maximum points.
Admittedly the Baggies have been given a tough start by the Championship fixture computer and in fairness, their pairing in this season’s Carabao Cup has done the West Midlands outfit few favours either.
Because with Sheffield United acting as the opposition on Thursday, there is seemingly no respite at the Hawthorns and with the Blades also aiming to be in the promotion mix next May, this is certainly one of the more intriguing cup ties of midweek.
After suffering a 1-0 defeat at Watford on the opening weekend of the season, Paul Heckinbottom’s men were then a lot sharper in front of their own fans. That sharpness was on show last Saturday as they beat Millwall 2-0 at Bramall Lane.
A result that sets them up nicely for this cup clash and although it is perhaps too early to start talking about momentum, Sheffield United tasting that winning feeling already is not something that should be overlooked.

When looking at the stats and facts above, the sequence of previous results does not bode well for Sheffield United. Thankfully for them, all streaks good or bad, are there to eventually be broken.
This is why I have plumped for an away win on Thursday night and not just because I am trying to defeat any previous logic. The reason why I have plumped for an away win is that Sheffield United have at least tasted victory in August.
Admittedly the form guide is on the rather light side, but there is something about West Brom that does not really feel you with great confidence. Whether that is the manager Steve Bruce or the players he has assembled, I am not too sure.
For those, who feel that West Brom will finally get their season underway and fancy a home win in 90 minutes, odds of 2.30 are worth consideration. But in my opinion, there is always an element of buyer’s remorse when it comes to backing the Baggies.
Personally, I think there will be no more than two goals during this encounter and if you were going to direct your money to the scoring markets, Rhian Brewster netting for the visitors anytime at odds of 6.00 is also worth a look.
This means when you add a Blades win to no more than two total goals and fuse it with no more than 10 total corners, these three components offer up a rather tempting price of 11.00 for my latest bet builder.
- Sheffield United to Win in 90 mins
- Under 3 total goals
- Under 11 total corners
Bet Builder odds: 11.00
