Sheffield United vs Wolves Tips and Predictions
Considering Wolves boasted the league’s third best defensive record on the road and were joined on the scoresheet in only one of their final 11 fixtures last season, odds of look solid on no more than one team getting on target in a match featuring under 2.5 goals.Just 34 days after their 2019/20 season ended, Wolves will begin their new campaign.
The game has been pushed to the Monday night specifically to give the visitors that little bit more preparation time. It is definitely needed.
Wolves’ four-day prep
Following their run to the Europa League quarter-finals, boss Nuno Espirito Santo gave his players three weeks off. That ended just before the international break so few of his regulars have been at the club’s Compton Park training base over the past fortnight.
Essentially, Nuno has had four days with his full squad to prepare for what is likely to be a tough game. When he spoke of “issues and problems” the other day, he was probably understating.
One man Nuno won’t have seen, at least on the field, is left-back Jonny, due to injury. Ruben Vinagre looks set to play instead – it would appear unlikely that new signing from Lyon, Marcal, will be pitched straight in given the lack of prep.The same can be said about record signing Pablo Silva and Vitinha, yet another from their Portuguese transfer network, so it should be a familiar-looking side for the men from the Black Country.
Last season Wolves were on the fringe of the top-four race for long periods but too many draws held them back – a tally of 14 was a league-high. Six came in the immediate aftermath of a Europa game and they will hope the lack of European football this season will boost them domestically.
Another area that requires improvement is how they start games – Wolves won more points from losing positions than any side last term but they will need to prevent so many early deficits if they are to challenge the ‘Big Six’.
One other area of struggle relevant to this game is their lack of goals away to the top sides.
While many will remember their 2-0 victory at Manchester City, the fact is that Wolves failed to score in five of their nine trips to their fellow top-half sides. Their visit to Bramall Lane in July was one of those – the hosts winning 1-0.
A similar result would be far from a surprise given Wolves’ build up to this game.
