Sunderland vs Blackburn Rovers

Current streaks

Recent form

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the Black Cats struggling for consistency in the Championship. Their last six matches have yielded two wins, one draw, and three losses, indicating a somewhat patchy run of results. Notably, Sunderland have been involved in a series of low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's defensive record has been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets in their last six outings. However, their attacking prowess has been a concern, managing to score just three goals during this period, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. The 3-0 defeat to Coventry City stands out as a particularly disappointing result, being the highest-scoring game in their recent run. Despite their struggles in front of goal, Sunderland have shown resilience in tight matches, with both of their victories coming by a single-goal margin.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown a remarkable turnaround in form, securing back-to-back victories after a concerning run of three consecutive defeats. Their recent 4-1 triumph over Millwall was particularly impressive, marking their highest-scoring match in this six-game stretch. Despite the recent upturn, Rovers' form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding an even goal difference of 8 scored and 8 conceded. The team has struggled defensively, managing only one clean sheet in this period, but they've maintained a respectable average of 1.33 goals scored per game. Interestingly, half of their matches have seen both teams score, and there's an equal split between games finishing under and over 2.5 goals, suggesting a mix of tight contests and more open affairs.

Recent home/away form

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent home form has been somewhat inconsistent, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats have managed to keep two clean sheets during this period, but they've also struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only six goals across these six games. Notably, 83% of these matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs. Sunderland have been relatively solid defensively, conceding just 0.67 goals per game, but their attacking output has been modest at best, averaging only one goal per match. While there are no significant winning or losing streaks to report, the team's inability to string together consecutive victories at home could be a concern for supporters and management alike.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers' away form has been rather inconsistent, with their most recent victory against Luton Town breaking a concerning run of four consecutive defeats on the road. The Rovers have struggled to find the back of the net, averaging less than one goal per game in their last six away matches, whilst conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game. Defensively, they've managed to keep two clean sheets, which is a positive sign amidst their difficulties. The majority of their away games (67%) have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting tight, low-scoring affairs. Notably, both teams have scored in only 17% of these matches, indicating that when Blackburn do concede, they often struggle to respond. Their 3-0 loss to Swansea stands out as their heaviest defeat in this run, while their 2-0 victory over West Brom represents their most convincing away performance.
