Sheffield Utd host Crystal Palace at the Bramall Lane (Sheffield) in the 35th round of the Premier League and the match kicks off at 3 pm (UK) on Saturday, May 8. Read our reasons for Sheffield Utd vs Crystal Palace prediction and betting tips.
Sheffield Utd endured another miserable 90 minutes this season when Welsh international Gareth Bale helped himself to a hat-trick, with South Korean star Son capping the rout with a curling finish. The performance left their caretaker manager Paul Heckingbottom frustrated, saying he expects more bravery and energy from his side in the face of relegation. Meanwhile, after a really bright start to the campaign Palace have been pretty ordinary for months now and have only won one of their last eight matches ahead of Saturday. Their job for the season is already complete as their top-flight status is assured for another season, but the former England manager will be targeting a strong finish and players will be playing for their long-term future at the club
Sheffield Utd did edge Brighton 1-0 in their last match at this venue but Sunday’s 4-0 drubbing at Tottenham made it seven defeats from eight outings. Interim boss Paul Heckingbottom says his already-relegated side cannot afford to throw the towel in over their remaining fixtures. The Blades did improve slightly after the half-time break versus Spurs but their performance in the opening period was very poor.
Paul Heckingbottom said he saw the sort of performance he expects in the second half at Tottenham, but it needed the interim manager to “upset” a few of his players at half-time to get it. The Blades have four matches left this season and with Heckingbottom last week confirmed as being on a five-man shortlist to take the job permanently despite only one win from his seven matches, the Blades would be well-advised not to leave him having to resort to “shock treatment” again.
Meanwhile, Palace are coming off a trio of defeats after losing 2-0 to Man City, 2-1 at Leicester and 4-1 when entertaining Chelsea. However, there were moments of merit in all of those difficult fixtures and the Eagles still have plenty to play for. Palace finished last term by picking up just one point in eight games, so Roy Hodgson will be urging his players not to go down the same path. Christian Benteke netted versus Chelsea while Zaha scored at Leicester, so their key forwards still look up for it.
The south Londoners held their own in the first half against runaway champions Man City, but two goals within 83 second-half seconds turned the match in favour of the visitors. Neither battling relegation nor challenging for European qualification, Crystal Palace’s season is petering out and the latest defeat was their fourth top-flight game without a win (D1, L3). and more worryingly their 19th consecutive winless league fixture against a top-six side (D5, L14).

Sheffield Utd meet Crystal Palace looking to shine some light on a miserable campaign that continued against The Spurs. United may not have expected much from that game but will want to make a better impression against Palace in their penultimate home game. On the other hand, Crystal Palace are coming off a tough run of fixtures and may relish the chance to express themselves more when visiting Sheffield. The Eagles ended a five-match winless run when easing past the Blades on home turf at the start of the year and we back them to do the double at Bramall Lane.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
