Molineux hosts the early Sunday kick-off with an exciting clash between Wolves and Sheffield United. Wolves are seeking their return to the top half of the table and into the European conversation, whereas the Blades will remain fearful that time is running out in their fight against relegation. 

Having flirted with the relegation battle earlier on in the season, Wolves have climbed the table in style, sitting 13 points clear of the drop after some strong form in recent weeks. Since Christmas Eve, Wolves have won five of their last eight games in the Premier League beating the likes of Chelsea, Brentford, Spurs and Everton.

The fixtures are running out for Sheffield United in the Premier League, but they have shown it's not over yet. Their victory over relegation rivals Luton has certainly raised hopes but they remain seven points from safety. Goal difference keeps the Blades at the bottom of the table, boasting the worst attacking record and defensive record in the division.

🏆 Match stats: Rampant Wolves to come out on top

After their extremely pitiful performance against Brighton last week, it's very difficult to see United overturn a Wolves side that’s boasting decent form and a potency in front of goal. With only two defeats in their last 11 across all competitions, including seven wins, Wolves are looking fearless and have established themselves as a difficult opponent for any team in the Premier League. Wolves may have lost their last two Premier League home games, but Molineux has been a tough place to come this season with victory evading Manchester City, Tottenham and Newcastle, while Manchester United just about scraped through their 4-3 victory. Before their recent two defeats at home, Wolves were unbeaten in eight league home games, winning five of those. It's difficult to see the Blades picking up any points here. The return of Hwang Hee-Chan from the Asian Cup has certainly strengthened this Wolves side, with Pedro Neto continuing his great season following a lengthy period on the sidelines. Turning to United, they secured their first away win in the Premier League this season last time out against Luton having lost 9 of their opening 11 games on the road. The Blades haven't beaten Wolves at Molineux in nine meetings, facing defeat in five of those matchups. Having shown such defensive ineptitude in their 5-0 loss last weekend, Wolves will certainly be looking to run riot here, especially considering they have scored 2+ goals in 4 of their last 5 games.

Predictions:

⚽ Wolves to win @ 1.44

🥅 Goals stats: Both sides leak goals

They boast some great attacking form but Wolves continue to show their defensive vulnerabilities - without a clean sheet in four Premier League games, conceding nine in that time. This comes at no surprise given that both teams have scored in an impressive 72% of Wolves’ league outings this season. This has also resulted in 68% of their games seeing at least three goals - both angles hold good value in Sunday’s matchup. The latter figure is mirrored by Sheffield United and their tendency to concede goals, adding to that value. Over 2.5 goals has landed in seven of Wolves’ last nine Premier League games, with a 0-0 stalemate at Brighton and a 2-0 defeat to Brentford spoiling the perfect record. Wolves have scored three goals in three of their last four home games in the league and that scoring form will worry Sunday’s visitors. Sheffield United certainly aren't known for their attacking prowess but their fixtures bring goals. The Blades do pose a threat and have found the back of the net at least once in seven of their last 10 games across all competitions. This includes scoring in three consecutive away games, which extends out to scoring in four of their last five away fixtures. At least four goals have been scored in an impressive seven consecutive games for United and we don't expect that tally to fall off anytime soon. Although this tally is not reflected too frequently by Wolves, their goal-threat certainly has the potential to reach this level against such a poor defensive side.

Predictions:

⚽ Both teams to score @ 1.65

⚽ Over 2.5 goals @ 1.57

⚽ Over 3.5 goals @ 2.55

🎯 Shooting stats: Wolves will pose a continuous threat on Sunday

Hwang Hee-Chan is Wolves’ top goalscorer this season with 10 Premier League goals and with the absence of Matheus Cunha, he is by far their biggest attacking threat. The return of Hwang Hee-Chan to this side has certainly brewed more confidence in their attacking potential and the stats show why. The South Korean international is averaging a strong 2.05 shots on goal per 90 and 0.70 shots on target per 90. Before departing for the Asian Cup, he had recorded two shots on target in back-to-back Premier League fixtures against Brentford and Everton. In the former matchup, he scored on both attempts Building on the Wolves attack, targeting their total shots on target in this clash holds good value. Sunday’s hosts have registered 5+ shots on target in four consecutive Premier League games, recording 23 total shots on target in that time, and recording that total in five consecutive home games. United are conceding an average of 17.20 shots and 6.56 shots on target per 90 so far this campaign, and as demonstrated by Brighton and Aston Villa in recent weeks, playing against strong attacking teams proves their inevitable downfall. They conceded nine shots on target in each of those games and five against Luton, history will likely repeat itself here.

Predictions:

⚽ Hwang Hee-Chan to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.36

⚽ Hwang Hee-Chan to score anytime @ 2.30

⚽ Wolves to have 6+ shots on target @ 1.62

🛑 Fouls stats: A hot-headed contest

Both of these teams have established a tendency for giving away fouls in recent weeks and the clash of these two hot-heads could give great value. Every contest for the Blades is so crucial now and the longer they’re prevented from winning games, the more late challenges we may witness. Starting with the hosts, Wolves come out on top as the serial foulers in this contest, averaging 12.60 fouls per 90 this campaign. They have racked up at least 11 fouls in six of their last eight across all competitions, which extends out to 10+ fouls in eight of their last nine Premier League games. These claws are certainly not sheathed on home soil either so expect some trouble here. Sheffield United have put plenty of opponents to the (fouling) sword recently, a pretty routine task considering their strong average of committing 11.80 fouls per 90 this season. The Blades were truly not themselves in last week’s defeat to Brighton in which they only picked up three fouls, as prior to that, they had picked up 11+ fouls in five consecutive games. This perfectly matches up with Wolves considering the hosts are drawing in 10.80 fouls per 90. The Blades have registered 12+ fouls in four consecutive league away fixtures, totalling at a whopping 60 fouls across those games, which solidifies the interest in this market for Sunday.

Predictions:

⚽ Wolves to commit 10+ fouls @ 1.25

⚽ Wolves to commit 11+ fouls @ 1.50

⚽ Sheffield United to commit 10+ fouls @ 1.33

⚽ Sheffield United to commit 12+ fouls @ 1.50
