Match details:
Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
English Premier League
Bramall Lane, England
25th April, 12:30 AM
Preview:
Brighton & Hove Albion will visit Sheffield United for a Premier League contest fully knowing that a win can all but confirm another year in the top tier of English football.
A 1-0 defeat to the Wolves last weekend confirmed relegation from the Premier League for Sheffield United. The Blades have registered just 4 wins in 32 matches this season and have lost 5 successive league matches in the Premier League. Sheffield United have managed to score only 17 goals from 32 games this season.
A 0-0 draw against an impressive Chelsea side was a positive result for Graham Potter and his Brighton team last week. Brighton are winless in their last 3 matches but have kept a clean sheet in 2 of them. They are ranked 12th on the away form after winning 5, drawing 5 and losing 6 league matches.
Sheffield United’s inability to score goals make Brighton heavy favorites to keep a clean sheet. We also expect a narrow win for the visitors.
Match Prediction: Sheffield United 0-2 Brighton & Hove Albion

Top picks:
Trossard: The Belgian tends to thrive against weak defenses. He has already grabbed 4 goals and 5 assists this season.
Dunk: Lewis Dunk’s ability in the air and Brighton’s prospect of keeping a clean sheet make him a solid choice for the armband.
Welbeck: The former Arsenal forward can be a decent punt in this one keeping in mind his performances in recent matches.
Captaincy options:
- Trossard
