Sheffield United vs Sunderland Bet Builder: Wednesday, August 17th

With a round of midweek Championship action waiting just around the corner, it means our Sheffield United vs Sunderland bet builder tips are not all that far away either. Tips that will focus on whether the Blades can return to winning ways on Wednesday.

While they will also focus on the same question for Sunderland and after throwing away two points in dramatic fashion on Saturday, the Black Cats will hope for more fortune at Bramall Lane.

In this article:


Sheffield United vs Sunderland Preview

Wednesday, August 17th, 20:00 (UK)

Although Chris Wilder is no longer manager of Sheffield United, he did have an influence on their performance last Sunday. One that saw the now Middlesbrough manager oversee a 2-2 draw with his former employers.

A result that continues United’s rather indifferent start to the campaign and with just four points from the first nine on offer, it is not quite the start that manager Paul Heckingbottom would have hoped for.

However, the beauty of the Championship is that there is so much football to be played. Which means although the Blades have been far from spectacular, there are plenty of opportunities to turn things around.

Opportunities that come as soon as this Wednesday and with Sunderland being denied the chance to continue their maximum points haul at the weekend, they will also look to return to winning ways.

Although it is fair to say that the Black Cats grabbed a draw out the jaws of victory on Saturday. Because after being 2-0 up at the Stadium of Light, they conspired to throw away their winning advantage to QPR.

One that saw R’s goalkeeper Seny Dieng score in the 91st minute and although there was heartbreak for the home support, the sign of any shot-stopper netting at the other end is always a positive one.

Sheffield United vs Sunderland Bet Builder

With Sheffield United only priced at 1.70 to win at home on Wednesday, I am not leaping off the sofa to back the Blades to win. This is why I have taken a different approach for my latest bet builder.
One that opts for a draw at the end of 10 minutes – whether it is 0-0 or even a goal for each early on, an early stalemate is all I and hopefully, you will need. If we can tick this section off, then it unlocks the next three.

The first being backing Ellis Simms to score anytime and with the Sunderland player currently as the joint top scorer in the Championship, there is certainly logic in adding him to the equation.

While if you are more of a Sheffield United goal persuasion, Sander Berge has found his shooting boots early in the campaign and he can be backed to score in 90 minutes at odds of 4.00.

Should it be level after 10 and Ellis Simms scores anywhere in the 90, the final two parts of the jigsaw should be rather simple. With under four total goals added to the mix, this seems a sensible shout in terms of attacking action.

This means the bet builder is already looking rather juicy and even if you go up to a maximum of 14 total corners on Wednesday, the odds are not skinny at all. Odds that when all four legs are combined, currently stand at 11.00.

  • Draw After 10 Minutes
  • Ellis Simms to score anytime
  • Under 4 total goals
  • Under 15 total corners

Bet Builder odds: 11.00

Odds via bet365 as at 12:30 August 15th 2022. Odds may now differ.
