Recent form
Swansea
Swansea's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Swans experiencing a notable downturn in their last three matches. They are currently on a two-game losing streak, having suffered heavy 3-0 defeats to both Cardiff City and Southampton. The team's defensive frailties are evident, conceding 12 goals in their last six games, with only one clean sheet during this period. Particularly concerning is their 4-0 loss to Portsmouth, contributing to a high-scoring run where five out of six matches saw over 2.5 goals. Despite their current 12th position in the Championship, Swansea's goal difference of -6 in the last six games raises concerns about their ability to compete consistently. Their last victory came against Queens Park Rangers in a convincing 3-0 win, but the Swans have struggled to maintain that level of performance, winning just two of their last six matches across all competitions.
Sheffield United
Sheffield United's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Blades struggling to maintain a consistent run of results. Despite their third-place position in the Championship, they have won only two of their last six matches, suffering three defeats in the process. Their goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging just one goal per game in this period, while their defence has been slightly leaky, conceding 1.17 goals per match. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent fixtures have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. The Blades have managed only one clean sheet in their last six outings, which came in their most recent match, a 2-0 victory over Norwich City. This win was a welcome return to form after a disappointing FA Cup exit to Cardiff City and could potentially spark a turnaround in their fortunes as they push for promotion.

Recent home/away form
Swansea
Swansea's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the team showing both promise and inconsistency at the Liberty Stadium. The Swans have managed to secure two consecutive wins in their last two home matches, defeating Luton Town and Queens Park Rangers, which indicates a potential upturn in their home performances. However, their defensive record has been a concern, with only one clean sheet in their last six home games. The matches have been notably high-scoring, with an impressive 83% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the back of the net in 83% of the fixtures. Particularly noteworthy was the thrilling 4-3 defeat against Leeds United, showcasing Swansea's ability to participate in goal-fests. With an average of 2.17 goals scored per game at home, Swansea have been entertaining their fans, but the 1.83 goals conceded per game suggests there's room for improvement in their defensive organisation.
Sheffield United
Sheffield United have shown impressive away form recently, with three wins, two draws, and only one loss in their last six matches on the road. The Blades have been particularly strong defensively, keeping clean sheets in their last two away victories against Cardiff City and Millwall. Their goal-scoring prowess has also been noteworthy, netting 10 goals in these six games, averaging 1.67 goals per match. Interestingly, Sheffield United have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent away games seeing over 2.5 goals. The team's resilience is evident in their ability to secure points even when conceding, as both teams scored in four out of the six matches. This solid away performance has contributed significantly to their current 3rd position in the Championship, accumulating 52 points from 26 games and positioning them as strong promotion contenders.
