Recent form
Bristol City
Bristol City's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Robins have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games, which is a concerning streak. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging 1.33 goals per game, but they've been leaking goals at an alarming rate of 2 per match. The 4-0 defeat to Leeds United stands out as a particularly heavy loss, contributing significantly to their negative goal difference of -4 over this period. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, and there's been a high occurrence of games with over 2.5 goals (83%), suggesting Bristol City have been involved in some entertaining, high-scoring affairs. Despite their defensive woes, the Robins have shown resilience, managing to secure points in four of their last six outings.
Sheffield United
Sheffield United's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Blades have struggled to find consistency, alternating between positive and negative results. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging 1.17 goals per game, whilst their defence has been relatively solid, conceding an average of one goal per match. Sheffield United have managed to keep two clean sheets in this period, but have also failed to score in one of their matches. Interestingly, 67% of their recent games have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. The team's ability to bounce back from defeats is evident, as they have not suffered more than two consecutive losses in this run.

Recent home/away form
Bristol City
Bristol City have been in impressive form at home, enjoying an unbeaten run of six matches with four wins and two draws. The Robins have been particularly strong in their last four home fixtures, securing a quartet of consecutive 2-1 victories against Sunderland, West Brom, Watford, and Norwich. Interestingly, Bristol City have been consistent in their goalscoring, netting exactly two goals in each of their last five home games. Despite their solid attacking output, averaging 1.83 goals per game, they have struggled to keep clean sheets, with both teams scoring in all six matches. The matches have generally been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of the games seeing over 2.5 goals. This combination of offensive prowess and defensive vulnerability has led to entertaining encounters at Ashton Gate, with an average of 3 goals per game.
Sheffield United
Sheffield United's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with the Blades experiencing a run of three consecutive defeats before bouncing back with a win in their latest outing. The team have shown resilience, managing to secure three victories in their last six away matches, including a notable derby win against Sheffield Wednesday. Despite their inconsistent results, Sheffield United have maintained a relatively tight defence, conceding an average of just one goal per game and keeping two clean sheets in the process. Their attacking output has been steady, with the team scoring in five out of six matches and averaging 1.17 goals per game on the road. Interestingly, half of their away fixtures have seen both teams score, while there's an even split between matches falling under and over 2.5 total goals, suggesting a balance between defensive solidity and attacking intent in their away performances.
