Recent form

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have displayed impressive form in their recent fixtures, securing four wins in their last six matches. The Blades are currently riding a three-game unbeaten streak, which includes back-to-back victories against Bristol City with identical 3-0 scorelines, showcasing their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. Their defensive record is particularly noteworthy, having kept four clean sheets in their last six games and conceding only 0.5 goals per game on average. The team's goal-scoring ability is also evident, netting 12 times in six matches for an average of 2 goals per game. Sheffield United's strong performances have propelled them to third place in the Championship with 90 points from 46 games, highlighting their promotion aspirations. The Blades' recent form demonstrates a good balance between attack and defence, with half of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals and the other half under, indicating their ability to adapt to different game scenarios.

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent form has been concerning, with the Black Cats enduring a difficult run of four consecutive defeats before a slight upturn in their last two matches. Despite their current 4th position in the Championship, Sunderland have struggled offensively, scoring just 4 goals in their last 6 games at an average of 0.67 per match. Defensively, they've also been vulnerable, conceding 8 goals and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 7 outings. The team's goal difference of -4 over this period reflects their struggles at both ends of the pitch. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring games, Sunderland's matches have generally been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their last 6 games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. The recent 2-1 away victory against Coventry City stands out as a potential turning point, breaking their losing streak and potentially signalling a return to form as the season reaches its climax.
