This winning streak has propelled them to second place in the Championship, with 28 points from 14 games. The Blades' defensive record is particularly noteworthy, having kept three clean sheets in their last six games and conceding only 0.67 goals per game during this period. Their recent performances have been characterised by low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six matches seeing under 2.5 goals. Sheffield United's ability to grind out results is evident, as they've managed to win four of their last six games despite scoring only 1.33 goals per game on average. The team's resilience was on display in their latest match, where they secured an away victory against Bristol City.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Owls' most recent outing saw them secure a solid 2-0 victory over Norwich, bouncing back from a heavy 6-2 defeat against Watford – the latter being a particularly high-scoring affair. Despite conceding 10 goals in their last six matches, Wednesday have managed two clean sheets, including their latest win. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, netting 7 times in 6 games, with an average of 1.17 goals per match. Currently sitting 15th in the Championship with 18 points from 14 games, Sheffield Wednesday's recent form suggests they are struggling for consistency, with 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have been in imperious form at home, showcasing an impressive five-match winning streak in their most recent fixtures at Bramall Lane. The Blades have been particularly stingy in defence, keeping clean sheets in all five of these victories, conceding just two goals in their last six home matches. While their attacking output hasn't been prolific, with an average of 1.5 goals scored per game, it has been more than sufficient given their defensive solidity. The only blemish on their recent home record is a 2-2 draw with Queens Park Rangers, which was also the only match in this period where both teams scored. Notably, 83% of these games have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting Sheffield United's penchant for tight, low-scoring affairs at home.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have shown impressive resilience away from home, with their recent form indicating a strong upturn in performances. The Owls are currently on a four-match unbeaten run on the road, including two consecutive Championship victories against Portsmouth and Coventry City. Their defensive solidity has been particularly noteworthy, conceding just 0.83 goals per game in their last six away fixtures and keeping two clean sheets. Whilst there haven't been any notably high-scoring encounters, Sheffield Wednesday have consistently found the back of the net, scoring in five out of their last six away matches across all competitions. This improved away form has been crucial in their climb to 15th position in the Championship, with the team demonstrating their ability to grind out results on their travels.
