Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Sheffield United will look to make amends for a 5-0 loss to Arsenal when they take on Wolverhampton in the Premier League round 11. The Blades do not seem to be competitive in the elite division, with the team collecting only one point in total to date, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for the rock-bottom side. The fact that Sheffield United produced a fine display in their last home game against Man Utd (1-2) is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Wolverhampton. Ismaila Coulibaly is a major doubt, while all Osula, Lowe, Jebbison, Egan, Davies, Basham, and Ahmedhodzic are out of contention with injuries.
The Wolves, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous five league matches. Wolverhampton have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and seeing that Sheffield Utd are desperate to record their first win of the process, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Gary O’Neil should have a full squad to choose from.
Highlighted Player (Hee-Chan Hwang):
Hwang Hee-Chan is a product of Pohang Steelers football academy. The Korean attacker, who was born in Chuncheon on January 26, 1996, started his senior career at FC Liefering of Austria and he scored 13 goals in 31 appearances for the club. The 177-cm tall striker currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg and you should bear in mind that he netted 12 goals for the club in the 2016/2017 season.
Hwang Hee-Chan won his second Austrian Bundesliga title with Salzburg in the 2016/2017 season, but the Red Bulls eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages. The Salzburg footballer made his South Korea debut in a 2-0 win over Canada on November 11, 2016.
Hee-Chan played regularly for the Korea national football team in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and he scored one goal in the process. The Koreans eventually booked their place at the showpiece tournament in Russia, meaning that the Salzburg attacker will have a chance to prove his worth on the big stage.
Highlighted Team (Sheffield United):
Sheffield United are a professional football club that compete in the Championship. The Blades finished the 2016/2017 League One campaign in top position in the standings, with the team collecting exactly 100 points in the process. Sheffield United last competed in the Premier League in the 2006/2007 season and they were more than unfortunate not to secure the top flight survival.
The Blades finished the season in 18th place in the process and it has to be noted that they were level on points with Wigan Athletic, who managed to avoid the relegation to the English second tier. Sheffield United welcome their rivals at Bramal Lane, the stadium which was opened on April 30, 1855. The current capacity of the venue is 32.702.
The club have numerous rivalries, but the most notable one is the rivalry with their city neighbors Sheffield Wednesday. The two teams face each other in the Steel City derby and it has to be noted that United share rivalry with the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham United, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United as well.
