Sheffield United vs Southampton – Preview and betting tips

Southampton will try to regain their excellent form from the starting season against Sheffield United. The game will take place this Tuesday from 19:45 and Soton are in pole-position.

Sheffield United are a League One (3rd league) team and they could not expect too many things from a game like this. More than that, their form is not a very good one, with only one victory in the last five games. Sheffield have not impressed in front of their own fans this stage. They played a total of 13 competitive games, ticking seven wins, three draws and already three defeats.

Southampton impressed us in the start of this season when they were fighting with Chelsea for the leading place in Premier League. Their form suffered a lot in the past few weeks, proof that in the last five league games Soton won only one point. “The Saints” are without victory in the last 45 days if we talk about away matches, their last won was against Hull City, 1-0 on November 1st.

The last time when these two clubs were face to face happened in 2008-2009 season, in Championship. Sheffield won four points in that season after 0-0 here and 2-1 away.

Prediction: 2 @ 1.53
League Cup is a very important trophy for a team like Southampton and we expect them to fight for it. We chose to bet on their victory in this Quarter Final, the odds offered by Bwin being very attractive at the moment.
