Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Sheffield United

Current streaks

Recent form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers' recent form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches. Despite sitting in a respectable 6th position in the Championship, their goal-scoring record has been somewhat lacklustre, netting just 0.67 goals per game on average. However, their defence has shown some promise, keeping three clean sheets in this period. The Rovers have struggled on the road, suffering back-to-back away defeats against Coventry City and Plymouth Argyle, with the former being a particularly heavy 3-0 loss. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. While there are no extended winning or losing streaks to note, Blackburn's inconsistent form is evident in their alternating results over the past four matches.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have shown a mixed bag of form in their recent fixtures, with a notable improvement in defensive solidity. The Blades have kept an impressive four clean sheets in their last six matches, conceding only three goals in total. Despite their solid defensive record, Sheffield United have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring just five goals in their last six games. All of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's current position of 4th in the Championship table reflects their ability to grind out results, as evidenced by their three 1-0 or 2-0 victories in this period. However, the Blades will be looking to improve their goalscoring output to maintain their promotion push, as they currently average less than a goal per game in their last six outings.

Recent home/away form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown impressive form at home, with a notable run of three consecutive Championship victories prior to their most recent draw against West Brom. Their defensive prowess at Ewood Park is particularly striking, having kept clean sheets in three of their last four league matches. The Rovers have been clinical in front of goal as well, scoring multiple times in three of their five home games across all competitions. Their 3-0 triumph over Bristol City stands out as their highest-scoring affair during this period. Despite a minor setback in the League Cup against Blackpool, Blackburn's overall home performance has been strong, contributing significantly to their current 6th position in the league table. Their ability to both score consistently and maintain a solid defence at home bodes well for their Championship campaign.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United's recent away form has been uninspiring, with the Blades struggling to find consistency on the road. They are currently on a run of three away matches without a victory, having lost their last two outings against Middlesbrough and Leeds United. The team's goal-scoring record away from home is particularly concerning, with only three goals netted in their last six away fixtures, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. However, their defensive performances have been somewhat more solid, conceding 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets in this period. Notably, all of Sheffield United's recent away matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of these games featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their patchy away form, the Blades remain in a respectable 4th position in the league, suggesting their home performances may be compensating for their struggles on the road.
