Fulham - Sheffield Utd

20.12.21 - 20:45 CET

England Championship
Fulham, who are currently top of the table, will face 14th-placed Sheffield United in the second top flight of the English competition.

Fulham have not been in the best of form recently, taking one win and four draws from their last 5 games. In their last game they only drew with Luton. They took the lead in the 19th minute, but got the equaliser in the 62nd minute. Fulham were the better team in the match but they couldn't do better in attack. They were also the better team in the match against Bournemouth - ball possession 63%, shots total 24:8, corner kicks 11:3, but the match also ended in a 1-1 draw.

Sheffield Utd have three wins, one draw and one loss in their last five games. In their last game they won deservedly against Cardiff 3-2. Before that, they managed to beat Bristol City 2-0 with ease. Sheffield played their last game 16 days ago. Such a long break could hurt the team, unlike Fulham who played their last game on 11.12.

Both teams do not have any newly injured players, so it seems to be expected that they will use the same starting lineups as in the previous games.

Fulham will be looking to break their run of four draws in a row. The team has had nine days of preparation for this game. I believe that against Sheffield, who played their last game 16 days ago and quite possibly fell off the pace, Fulham will break their streak of draws and manage to win.

H2H:
Fulham 1:0 Sheffield (2021)
Sheffield 1:1 Fulham (2020)
Fulham 3:0 Sheffield (2018)

My bet:
Fulham @ 1.66 (bet365)

As both teams are good in getting corner kicks, I have to try that bet here!

Fulham has many corners every home match and when they really can push the opponent if not winning.
Shefield Utd won't be trashed I believe and I expect them they can get 4-5 corners themselves, especially if Fulham gets the lead...

Over 10,5 corners @ 2,10
Early corner, before 10:00 @ 1,53 small stake

9 corners (7-2)
1st corner: 23'



Didn't go well, Sheffield took early lead and altough there was first corner after long 23 minutes, Fulham managed to get 5 until the break and everything was on a good way. Second half was lazy, Sheffield getting 2 corners and Fulham took their two more corners in 90th minute.
Disappointing, I really believe in OK bet after the first half and with underdog ahead....
