Sheffield United hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers in round 1 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, September 14th at Bramall Lane (Sheffield)
Sheffield United was one of the revelations of the previous Premier League season. They didn't believe in the team at all - a weak line-up (many had played in League One), an inexperienced coach, a minimal budget that did not allow making special transfers. But precisely due to teamwork and collective qualities, Chris Wilder and his men managed not only to win the struggle for survival, but also to make some noise. For a long time, the newcomer even was almost in the Champions League zone. Truth be told, it slowed down in the end, but the final 9th place is much cooler than expected a year ago. But will this success be repeated? After all, the notorious "second season" begins, and it is more difficult than the debut one for many teams. The loss of Dean Henderson was huge. The loan ended, and the player went back to Manchester United. Will Ramsdale fully replace him? We also note the invitation of promising Burka and Ampadu.

Wolverhampton could be considered a loser of the last season. It successfully fought in the Europa League for a long time but lost to the future winner, Sevilla. Moreover, Raul Jimenez did not convert a penalty, and the Spaniards scored the only goal in the very ending. However, there will be no new start because the Wolves were left without European cups. They scored more points than a year earlier and were 7th again. But Arsenal won the FA Cup and displaced Wolverhampton from the country's quota in the Europa League. However, Nuno Espirito Santo remains on the coaching post. And the club continues to strengthen, maintaining its Portuguese focus on the transfer market. Matt Docherty, who left for Tottenham, was replaced by Marsal from Lyon. And the Wolves bought promising Fabio Silva, although he played little at the adult level (for record 40 million). And the 20-year-old midfielder Vitinha was loaned.
Recently, Sheffield United has been successfully playing against a higher-quoted opponent. In the 2017/2018 Championship, the clubs exchanged home wins. In the Premier League, the Blades managed to score four out of six points. Bookmakers consider Wolverhampton to be the favorite, although the Wolves play away. However, Sheffield United is good enough to avoid defeat at home, so I will choose the option with X.
Prediction for the match: Sheffield United to win with +0.5 handicap
