Stake a lay bet on Sheff Utd for relegation?

Post by Hangmanfan »

With the exception of an away match at Man Utd, they've got the easiest run-in to the end of the season of all the teams in the dogfight:

Sheff Utd - West Ham (14 Apr)
Man Utd - Sheff Utd (17 Apr)
Charlton - Sheff Utd (21 Apr)
Sheff Utd - Watford (28 Apr)
Aston V - Sheff Utd (5 May)
Sheff Utd - Wigan (13 May)

They're 1.91 on betfair to the avoid the drop. Worth it or not?

Can see them losing to West Ham and Charlton, so i don't recommend it.

If they get themselves back on track then by all means, all they have to do is beat Hammers Charlton and Watford and they're safe, but at the moment they don't look like doing so.

Last time I looked they were 6 to beat the drop. Can't remember how much was available for a matched bet but I'll be kicking myself if they beat Watford tomorrow. 38 points for safety I reckon. Can't see Charlton and WHU winning two games each.

I think Fulham could be pulled in with West ham and Watford
