Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace Prediction: Are we expecting a victory for the home team?

In the first round of the championship of England Crystal Palace goes to visit Sheffield United. The start of this meeting is scheduled for August 12. After a campaign in the Championships, the Blades again returned to the elite of English football. This time they will try to stay longer. Are we expecting a victory for the home team in the upcoming game?

In pre-season, Sheffield United played six friendly matches, in which they did not mark a classy game - two wins, one draw, and three defeats. The opponents were of a lower class than the Blades. In the previous campaign, Sheffield United took second place, losing ten points to Burnley, the best team in the tournament. As you know, the second place gives a direct ticket to the elite of English football.

The London team held seven control meetings this summer. The team under the leadership of Roy Hodgson won three victories, once played a draw, and suffered three defeats. It is worth noting the last performance against a strong team Lyon; the Eagles scored two unanswered goals against the French. In the previous campaign of the English Premier League, the team was a mid-table side. With 45 points, the club finished in 11th place ahead of Chelsea.

Most recent matches between the clubs did not please with the high realization of chances. We expect a change in the trend, as the beginning of the season often recorded unexpected results and many goals scored. In addition, the London club will have additional motivation. Eagles won only once in the previous seven away matches of the English Premier League in August. Sheffield United intends to prove that again can create problems for EPL clubs and stay in the championship longer than last time.
