'Welcome to Wrexham' fans have a big match to watch Sunday. The club owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney takes on Sheffield United, who remains hopeful for promotion to the Premier League next season. Check out below for our top Wrexham-Sheffield United picks for their FA Cup match.

If you’ve watched the Welcome to Wrexham series, you'll know more about Sunday’s underdogs than the former Premier League side. Wrexham won all 12 league home games this season and beat Championship opposition on the road in the FA Cup's last round. Meanwhile, the Blades are in fine form, going unbeaten and drawing only once since the World Cup break. They sit 13 points ahead of the cutoff for promotion to the Premier League. 

Here is our best Wrexham vs. Sheffield United FA Cup pick (odds via Caesars, pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Wrexham vs. Sheffield United odds analysis

As you'd expect, Sheffield United are the favorites in this match. However, their odds are short, considering how far apart these two clubs are in ranking within English soccer. BetMGM has the Blades' best moneyline odds at -118. FanDuel has Sheffield United as low as -130, and DraftKings prices them at -125, so the value fluctuates considerably. 

If it’s a Hollywood story you want, +330 at DK is the best moneyline price for a Wrexham win. Caesars has the Welsh club as low at +305. Compared to other non-league clubs, these are short. But they are the home team and there'll be a lot of heart over head decision making by fans of the TV series. 

Wrexham striker Paul Mullin might be the most famous name on the pitch on Sunday. He's +225 at PointsBet as an anytime goal scorer. This is the best price for Wrexham’s talisman. He’s priced at +200 with Caesars and as low as +185 at FanDuel.  

Wrexham vs. Sheffield United pick

Wrexham-Sheffield United both teams to score, Sheffield United win (+270 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wrexham will be up for this. It’s an internationally televised match against the 22nd best team in England. The fans will be loud, and it’s up to the Blades to silence them. Buoyed by the home support, Wrexham should find the net. 

However, Sheffield United’s quality and big match experience will see them advance to the fifth round. The Blades have English soccer's best second tier defense, and only Burnley scored more than they did in the Championship.

A cup run would be excellent for Wrexham’s revenue, but they’ve got bigger ambitions. They’re top of the National League with only one automatic promotion place available. Wrexham doesn’t want this season to end like the last one, being eliminated from the playoffs at the first attempt. 

Sheffield United may field a weakened team, but could call on star talent from the bench, if needed. With their push back to the Premier League looking strong at the moment, the Blades won't want to draw this match and add an extra fixture to their calendar with a replay. Expect them to get the job done Sunday.

Sheffield United should win this game. If you want extra moneyline juice, then it's a great play. It’s the FA Cup, where the minnows can have their day, or 20 minutes. It's a huge occasion for Wrexham, so they’ll have spells where they put the Blades on the back foot. The Welsh side has the firepower to find the net.

The spread doesn’t work in your favor, giving Sheffield United -125 odds via PointsBet with the line at -0.5. Back the quality of the opposition with this play, while respecting their opponents. It could be a good game, with this pick giving favorable odds.
