Sheffield Utd vs. Newcastle Betting Tips: Back Hamer to hit the target at Bramall Lane

The final match in Gameweek six sees Newcastle make the trip down the A1 to Sheffield to take on Paul Heckingbottom’s Blades. We’ve got Anthony Eadson in the tipping hot-seat to provide us with his best bets from Bramall Lane.
Sheffield United will have been devastated to come away empty handed from Spurs last weekend with the home side scoring in the 98th and 100th minute to snatch the three points in a 2-1 win. The Blades have collected just one solitary point so far this season and sit 17th in the table heading into the weekend.
After three consecutive Premier League defeats, Newcastle got back to winning ways last weekend with a 1-0 win at home to Brentford. The Magpies played their first Champions League match for 20 years on Tuesday, but could only manage a goalless draw with AC Milan in a game where they let off just six shots in comparison to 25 from the Rossoneri.
Sheffield United vs Newcastle Tips
The first selection on Sunday comes from Betfair’s ‘Stats Specials’ where I’ve taken a lean towards both teams giving away a foul inside the first ten minutes of the match.
It should be a loud and raucous atmosphere in South Yorkshire with a full day on the ale for the Blades fans and I fancy a fast start to the game after the home fans have blasted out the Greasy Chip Butty song before kick-off.
Newcastle are the most fouled team in the Premier League this season with players such as Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon both ranking in the top-six players to have drawn the most this term.
When it comes to giving fouls away, Newcastle rank second in the division having committed 64 offences across their first five matches. Sheffield United have given away just one foul less than Newcastle since their return to the top-table of English football with 63. I’d have this selection priced more around the 4/5 region and I think 1/1 is a price worth taking.
It’s refreshing to see bet365 provide a market involving player fouls and the first half of my 4/1 poke on Sunday is for Bruno Guimaraes to give away Over 1.5.
Only Lucas Paqueta has conceded more fouls in the Premier League than Bruno Guimaraes before Gameweek 6. In total, Bruno has conceded 12 fouls this term and looking back a little further this bet has clicked in seven of his last 11 league outings.
Gustavo Hamer has settled in well at Sheffield United since making the switch from Coventry at the end of the transfer window. Hamer has two goals to his name already for his new employers and has landed at least one shot on target in all four of his outings with totals of: 1,1,2,1. Combining him to register Over 0.5 on Sunday, along with Bruno to give away Over 1.5 fouls pays 4/1 with bet365.
