Sheff Utd v Newcastle
Result: Sheff Utd 1-2 Newcastle
Barclays Premiership: k.o. Apr 07 Sat 15:00Vital Victory On The Cards For Sheff.U
After taking just a point from their last four games, Sheffield United have been dragged back into the relegation dogfight at the foot of the Premiership.
This Saturday they play host to Newcastle United at Bramall Lane in a match that manager Neil Warnock will see as one in which they can secure vital points towards safety.
Newcastle have lost three on the spin now, with the UEFA Cup exit at the hands of AZ Alkmaar ending their hopes of claiming any silverware for yet another season.
The confidence in the visiting ranks looks low, with Glenn Roeder's future again coming under question in some quarters.
The Blades are missing the injured Rob Hulse for the remainder of the campaign and that is a definite blow, but they are still a force to be reckoned with on home soil.
With Newcastle looking vulnerable at present, the 29-20 on a Sheffield United win with Portlandbet looks a price worth taking.
