Brentford - Sheff Utd

England Premier League - Brentford Community Stadium

We're bringing you our Premier League predictions for one of the weekend's big games at the bottom of the table between Brentford and Sheffield United. The Bees might head into this game as the clear favourite with the bookmakers but wins have been hard to come by for both clubs of late and we're predicting a close and competitive 90 minutes that could go either way.

Brentford vs Sheffield Utd predictions: Both teams scoring and conceding plenty of goals

Key Stats

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Brentford are the expected winners of this game with a probability of 69.2%, but we're expecting this game to be closely fought.

Brentford claimed an impressive 3-3 draw away at high-flying Aston Villa last weekend but are without a win in their last six matches, while Sheff Utd also haven't won in their last six attempts but did claim a 2-2 draw at home to Chelsea last time out.

Player to watch – Gustavo Hamer

Sheffield United's Brazilian-born Dutch midfielder has proven that he has what it takes to play in England's top flight, even if the majority of his teammates haven't.

Hamer has scored three goals and provided five assists in a tough season for the Blades and we're backing the 26-year-old to put in another good performance against Brentford on Saturday.

Hamar has been the Blades' most creative player this season

Only three Sheff Utd players have scored more league goals than Hamer and he leads the way in terms of assists, making him a key player in the side and some Brentford will need to mark tightly.
