Newcastle v Sheffield United betting tips: Goals flowing for Magpies

A Newcastle win to nil is available at 21/10 while they are 2/1 to win by more than one goal.

Newcastle v Sheffield United head-to-head

It has been a miserable campaign for the Blades and they had to wait until January 12 for their first league win of the season, which came against Newcastle at Bramall Lane.

Club captain Billy Sharp came on as a second-half substitute and showed all of his experience to remain calm and score a 73rd-minute spot-kick to earn a 1-0 win.

Four of United’s six victories this season have been 1-0 and they are 14/1 to win by that scoreline again.

The result in January’s meeting was the least Chris Wilder’s team deserved after dominating against a negative and unimaginative Newcastle side who had Ryan Fraser sent off just before half-time.

Newcastle at least did the double over the Blades last season, winning 2-0 in South Yorkshire and 3-0 on Tyneside.

Previous XI

Sheffield United: Ramsdale, Baldock, Stevens, Basham, Egan, Robinson, Fleck, Norwood, Osborn, Jebbison, McGoldrick.

Key battles

Sheffield United have had nothing to lose in the last few weeks of the season and one player to benefit has been Jebbison.

Having been on loan at National League North side Chorley earlier this season, he became the Premier League’s youngest scorer on full debut aged 17 years and 309 days with a goal just seven minutes into his first start against Everton.

His enthusiasm and work rate could make him a handful for the Newcastle defence and he is 13/5 to score again while Joe Willock is the main in form for the hosts and is 15/8 to net for a sixth successive match.
