Recent form

Leeds United

Leeds United's recent form shows a mixed but generally positive trend. In their last six games, they've secured three wins, two draws, and only one loss, accumulating 11 points out of a possible 18. The team has been particularly strong defensively, conceding only 4 goals in these 6 matches and keeping 3 clean sheets. Their goal-scoring has been consistent, with an average of 1.67 goals per game, including a high-scoring 3-0 victory against Coventry City. Leeds have been involved in tight, low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their current 5th position in the league with 16 points from 9 games suggests they are in playoff contention. While there are no extended winning or losing streaks, Leeds have gone unbeaten in their last four matches (WWDD), showing resilience after their sole recent loss to Burnley.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United are in impressive form, currently sitting 2nd in the Championship with 19 points from 9 games. Their recent run of results is particularly noteworthy, with five wins and one draw in their last six matches, including a current four-game winning streak. Defensively, they have been impenetrable, keeping clean sheets in all of their last six games and not conceding a single goal during this period. While their attacking output has been modest, with just 7 goals scored (an average of 1.17 per game), it has been enough to secure victories. All of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their 2-0 victory over Luton Town stands out as their highest-scoring game in this run, but overall, Sheffield United's success appears to be built on a solid defensive foundation rather than prolific goal-scoring.

Recent home/away form

Leeds United

Leeds United's recent home form presents a mixed picture with some interesting trends. In their last six home games, they've managed three wins, two losses, and a draw, showing inconsistency but maintaining a positive overall record. The team has been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly the 3-3 draw with Portsmouth in the Championship, which contributed to their impressive average of 3 total goals per game. Leeds have shown the ability to keep clean sheets, doing so in two of their last three home league matches, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Coventry City. However, they've also experienced some heavy defeats, notably a 3-0 loss to Middlesbrough in the League Cup. Their goal-scoring record is solid, averaging 1.67 goals per game, but they've also been vulnerable defensively, conceding 1.33 goals per game. The fact that 67% of these home games have seen over 2.5 goals suggests that Leeds' matches at Elland Road are often entertaining affairs for the spectators.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United's recent away form shows resilience and defensive solidity, with three clean sheets in their last six games. The team has been particularly effective in the Championship, remaining unbeaten in their last four away league matches (2 wins, 2 draws). Their defensive prowess is evident, conceding only 0.5 goals per game on average. Interestingly, all of their recent away fixtures have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of games featuring under 2.5 goals. While their attacking output has been modest, averaging 1 goal per game, it has been sufficient to secure positive results in most matches. The team's ability to grind out results on the road has contributed to their strong league position, currently sitting 2nd in the Championship with 19 points from 9 games.
