Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Luton Town, Sheffield United will look to keep their survival hopes alive when they take on Brighton in the Premier League round 25. The Blades desperately needed a win against the Hatters and they managed to get one, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to avoid relegation. Rhys Norrington-Davies should be fit for Sunday’s clash despite limping off with injury in the triumph over Luton.
The Seagulls, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Tottenham and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. The likes of James Milner, Joao Pedro, and Julio Enciso are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting side. When the two teams met in the FA Cup earlier this year Brighton recorded a thrilling 5-2 win over Sheffield United.
Highlighted Player (Oliver Norwood):
Oliver Norwood is a Reading midfielder who began his youth career at Manchester United. Norwood made his debut for the reserve team against Middlesbrough in November, 2007, but he did not get a chance to play for the first team. After ending his loan spell with Coventry City in 2012, the 180-cm-tall midfielder signed a contract with Huddersfield Town.
Oliver Norwood scored eight goals in 80 league appearances for the club between 2012 and 2014. Later in 2014 he joined Reading for an undisclosed fee and he made his debut for the Royals against Nottingham Forest on 23 August, 2014.
Norwood was born in Burnley, England and he has six caps for England U16 team. He played three games for the U17 team as well, but he then decided to represent Northern Ireland as his heritage is Northern Irish. Norwood made his debut for the Green and White Army on 11 August, 2010, in a 2-0 loss to Montenegro. He replaced Sammy Clingan in the second half of the match.
Highlighted Team (Brighton):
Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club were formed in 1901. The Seagulls welcome their opponents at Falmer Stadium and the capacity of Brighton’s home ground is 30,750. The stadium was built in 2008 and it was opened in 2011. The venue is known for commercial purposes as American Express Community Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion compete in the Premier League and they play in blue and white stripes. The colour of Brighton’s away kit is green. The club made it to the FA Cup final in 1983, but English giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Red Devils.
Brighton’s main rivals are Crystal Palace and the Seagulls have recorded 35 wins over the Eagles. Frank Stapleton, Martin Chivers, Joe Corrigan, Bobby Zamora, Mark Lawrenson, Bobby Smith, John Crumplin and Frank Worthington are notable footballers who played for Brighton in the past. The Albion is Preston’s yet another nickname.
