Current streaks

Recent form

Bristol City

Bristol City have shown impressive resilience in their recent form, going unbeaten in their last six matches with two wins and four draws. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, conceding only four goals in this period and keeping three clean sheets. The Robins have been especially formidable away from home, winning their last two away fixtures against Preston and Middlesbrough without conceding a goal. Their most recent match against Preston North End was their highest-scoring game in this run, with a 3-1 victory. Despite their solid defensive record, Bristol City's attack has been somewhat inconsistent, scoring eight goals in six games but failing to find the net in three of those matches. Their current position of 11th in the Championship table reflects their steady, if unspectacular, form, with their ability to avoid defeat – now stretching to eight games – being a key factor in their mid-table standing.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have shown impressive form in their recent matches, particularly in their defensive performance. The Blades have kept four clean sheets in their last six games, conceding only three goals during this period. They are currently on a two-match winning streak, bouncing back strongly after suffering consecutive losses to Leeds United and Middlesbrough. Notably, all six of their recent matches have ended with under 2.5 goals, highlighting a trend of low-scoring affairs. Sheffield United's goal-scoring has been consistent but not prolific, averaging 1.17 goals per game. Their current position of 4th in the league table, with 22 points from 12 games, underscores their solid start to the Championship campaign.

Recent home/away form

Bristol City

Bristol City have shown remarkable consistency at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at Ashton Gate. Whilst they've struggled to convert draws into wins, with four of their last six home games ending level, the Robins have displayed resilience and defensive solidity. They've managed two clean sheets in this period, conceding only six goals across the six matches. A particularly thrilling encounter was their 4-3 victory over Millwall, which bucked the trend of their generally low-scoring affairs. Indeed, 67% of their recent home games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter contests. Despite their mid-table position, Bristol City's home form indicates they're a tough nut to crack, with their ability to avoid defeat potentially crucial in their Championship campaign.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six away matches. The Blades have shown defensive resilience, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only 0.67 goals per game on average. However, their attacking output has been modest, also scoring just 0.67 goals per game. Notably, all of their recent away fixtures have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of these games featuring under 2.5 goals and neither team managing to score in any of the matches. Despite this cautious approach, Sheffield United have maintained a respectable 4th position in the league, accumulating 22 points from 12 games. Their most recent away victory against Blackburn Rovers ended a brief run of two consecutive away defeats, potentially signalling a return to form on the road.
