Current streaks

Recent form

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling in 24th position in the Championship. Their last six matches have yielded two wins, one draw, and three losses, indicating a difficult period for the club. The Pilgrims have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with five out of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals. Defensively, Plymouth have been vulnerable, conceding 11 goals in their last six matches at an average of 1.83 per game. Their 3-0 loss to Swansea and 3-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday stand out as particularly disappointing results. On a positive note, Plymouth managed a clean sheet in their goalless draw against Watford, but they have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring just six goals in their last six games.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have experienced a mixed run of form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. The Blades, currently sitting third in the Championship with 83 points from 41 games, have shown resilience in tight matches, with five of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their defensive prowess is evident, conceding only 0.67 goals per game in this period and keeping two clean sheets. However, Sheffield United's recent form has taken a slight dip, with the team suffering back-to-back losses in their last two outings against Millwall and Oxford United. Prior to these defeats, they had embarked on a three-match winning streak, including a notable victory in the Sheffield derby against local rivals Sheffield Wednesday. Despite the recent setbacks, the Blades' overall goal difference remains positive, and they continue to maintain a strong position in the promotion race.
