Recent form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown a mixed bag of form in their recent matches, with a notable improvement in their last two outings. After a concerning run of three consecutive defeats, during which they failed to score and conceded five goals, the team has bounced back with two impressive away victories. These wins have propelled them to 8th in the Championship table, demonstrating their resilience. Defensively, Rovers have been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding an average of just one goal per game. However, their attacking output has been somewhat limited, with only 0.67 goals scored per game over this period. Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, low-scoring affairs. The team's ability to grind out results on the road, as evidenced by their latest away victories against Middlesbrough and Cardiff City, could be crucial for their promotion aspirations.

Leeds United

Leeds United have shown impressive form in recent weeks, currently sitting atop the Championship table with 35 points from 17 games. The Whites are on a three-match winning streak, which includes a high-scoring 4-3 victory away at Swansea. Their defensive record has been particularly noteworthy, with four clean sheets in their last six matches and only four goals conceded during this period. Leeds have been prolific in attack as well, scoring 12 goals in their last six games, averaging 2 goals per match. The team's goal difference of +8 over these six games highlights their dominance, with half of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite a minor setback with a 1-0 loss to Millwall, Leeds have bounced back strongly, demonstrating their resilience and championship credentials.

Recent home/away form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers' recent home form presents an intriguing mix of results, with a notable shift in momentum. The team enjoyed a strong run of three consecutive victories, including an impressive 3-0 win against Bristol City, which stands out as their highest-scoring home game in this period. However, their form has taken a downturn in their most recent fixtures. Rovers have failed to score in their last three home matches, resulting in two losses and a draw. This goalless streak is particularly striking given their earlier success. Despite the recent setbacks, Blackburn's defensive record remains solid, with four clean sheets in their last six home games. The statistics also highlight a tendency towards low-scoring affairs, with 83% of these matches featuring under 2.5 goals, and remarkably, none of the games saw both teams score.

Leeds United

Leeds United's recent away form in the Championship has been a mixed bag, with the Whites showing resilience but struggling to secure consistent victories. In their last six away matches, Leeds have managed two wins, three draws, and one loss, demonstrating their ability to avoid defeat on the road. The standout result was their most recent away game, a thrilling 4-3 victory over Swansea, which bucked the trend of their previous low-scoring encounters. Prior to this high-scoring affair, Leeds had been involved in a series of tight contests, with three consecutive draws against Bristol City, Sunderland, and Norwich. Defensively, the team have been relatively solid, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets in their last six away matches. However, their attacking output has been somewhat inconsistent, with 67% of these games seeing under 2.5 goals scored. Despite this, Leeds' away form has contributed to their impressive league position, sitting top of the table with 35 points from 17 games.
