Sheffield United vs Norwich

Current streaks

Recent form

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have experienced mixed fortunes in their recent fixtures, with their form showing signs of inconsistency. Despite sitting in a strong 3rd position in the Championship, the Blades have struggled to maintain a winning streak, alternating between victories, draws, and defeats in their last six matches. Their defensive record has been a concern, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five games. The team's goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging just one goal per game in this period. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with fewer than 2.5 goals. Their most impressive result came in their away victory against Cardiff City, where they secured a 2-0 win. However, their FA Cup hopes were dashed by the same opponent in their most recent fixture, highlighting the unpredictable nature of their current form.

Norwich

Norwich City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. The Canaries have been involved in several high-scoring games, with 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table position of 11th in the Championship, Norwich have demonstrated resilience, winning three consecutive league games before their recent FA Cup defeat to Brighton. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game, which has contributed to both teams scoring in two-thirds of their matches. However, Norwich have managed to outscore their opponents in most of their recent victories, suggesting their attack is currently more potent than their defence. The heavy 4-0 loss to Brighton in the FA Cup stands out as a particularly disappointing result amidst their otherwise improving league form.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield United

Sheffield United's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with a notable three-match winning streak in the Championship being followed by a dip in results. The Blades have struggled to find the back of the net in their last two home matches, failing to score against both Burnley and Cardiff City. Despite this, their defensive record remains relatively solid, with three clean sheets in their last six home games. The team's goal-scoring average of 1.17 goals per game at home is modest, but their defensive record of conceding just 0.67 goals per game is impressive. Interestingly, 83% of their recent home matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs at Bramall Lane. The 3-0 victory over Oxford United stands out as their highest-scoring home game in this period, showcasing their potential for more emphatic wins.

Norwich

Norwich City's away form has been a mixed bag in recent matches, with the Canaries struggling to find consistency on the road. They have managed just one win in their last six away games, a narrow 1-0 victory against Luton Town. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding nine goals in these six matches, with a particularly heavy 3-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers standing out. Norwich have failed to score in half of these away fixtures, contributing to their low average of 0.67 goals per game. However, they have shown resilience in securing two draws, including a high-scoring 2-2 result at West Brom. The team's away performances have been characterised by a lack of clean sheets, managing only two in this period, and a tendency for matches to be closely contested, with 50% of games featuring under 2.5 goals.
