- Robbie Savage
- 10 November 2023
Planet Sport Bet’s Robbie Savage is tipping Brighton to beat Sheffield United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Sheffield United will certainly fancy their chances after that late winner against Wolves.
Brighton are opponents for Sheffield United. Brighton have never beaten Sheffield United in four attempts in the Premier League.
But on the fifth attempt, Brighton will win it. Home advantage will be key. I’m going with a 3-1 win for Brighton.

Planet Sport’s other bets to consider
Brighton’s winless run suggests that competing on all fronts has taken its toll, but Thursday’s 2-0 win against Ajax was a stroll in the park.
Much like the reverse fixture, Roberto De Zerbi’s side were rarely threatened and should be feeling fresh for the visit of the Blades.
The Seagulls have put at least three past Luton, Newcastle and Bournemouth at the AMEX, with their only slip being a 1-1 draw with Fulham.
They dominated in that game and they continue to create a high volume of chances in every home game.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side are conceding just shy of three goals per game this season and Brighton are good enough to cut them open in the same way Arsenal did.
Backing the hosts to score at least three goals is a wise bet, but avoid the handicap because of their defensive frailties.
Everyone gets their fair share of chances to score against Brighton so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Blades net.
