Another market shocked by Sheffield is the Top Half Finish. Something that the Blades’ fans could have only dreamed about at the beginning of the season. Well, that is true, they only were offered to make the top 10 teams list at the odds of 15.00 (14/1). 

Right now, bookmaker Ladbrokes has them as short as 1.11 (1/9), however, a bit better price of 1.22 (2/9) could be found at Betway. Looking at this number, we can see an increase of a 7% to a 71% chance.

Let’s move on to the markets of somewhat bigger interest to the punters, the Top 6 & Top 4 finishers. Again, these goals were only a dream for Chris Wilder’s squad. Receiving the odds of 151.00 (150/1) and 2001.00 (2000/1) on the aforementioned markets, respectively. That is a true sight of the European football dreams come true. The team is currently sitting on the 5th place in the Premier League table. The best price for the Blades to finish the 2019/2020 season at the top 6 can be found at Betfair. The book lists the Blades at the odds of 3.75 (11/4), however, Sheffield can be found as short as 3.00 (2/1) at William Hill. That is, again, more likely than Everton - 5.00 (4/1) and Arsenal - 4.50 (7/2).

Despite such a successful run, it would be too much to consider Sheffield United’s chances at winning the Premier League. Taking into consideration the fantastic run of Jurgen Klopp’s side followed by Manchester City, it would be a true miracle seeing the Blades landing on the first seed. However, top 4 finish is still in the club’s reach. First of all, let’s take a look back for a moment. Before the start of the season, Sheffield was listed at an unbelievable 2001.00 (2000/1) by the leading online betting operators. At the moment the club is listed as short as a 13.00 (12/1) to upset the plans of Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and Wolves at William Hill. Do they really have a chance?

Well, one of the punters actually backed such a possibility during the pre-season. The risk-taker wagered on the Blades to finish at the top 4 at the odds of 1001.00 (1000/1) and is currently waiting for his £10,010 payout.

Can the Blades really make the top 4? What else should we expect from this Premier League’s campaign? Let us know down in the comment below.
