Recent form

Sheffield United

Sheffield United's recent form has been poor, with the team currently sitting in 20th position in the league table, having collected just 16 points from 32 games. In their last six matches, they have suffered three losses and managed three draws, failing to secure a single win. The Blades have been involved in high-scoring encounters, with an average of 4.33 total goals per game, and 83% of their matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed, conceding 18 goals in the last six games at an average of 3 per match. A particularly heavy defeat came against Arsenal, where they lost 6-0 at home. On a slightly more positive note, Sheffield United have shown some resilience in their recent draws against Chelsea and Fulham, both ending with a scoreline of 3-3, highlighting their ability to score goals despite their defensive struggles.

Burnley

Burnley's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with the team currently sitting in a precarious 19th position in the league table. Over their last six matches, they have managed to secure just one win, four draws, and one loss. Notably, Burnley has been involved in a series of high-scoring encounters, with their matches against Chelsea and West Ham both ending in 2-2 draws. The team's attacking prowess is evident, as they have scored 8 goals in their previous 6 games, averaging 1.33 goals per game. However, their defensive frailties are equally apparent, conceding the same number of goals over the same period. Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen both teams find the back of the net, while half of the games have produced over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for entertaining, end-to-end encounters.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield United

Sheffield United's recent home form has been extremely poor, with the team currently on a six-game winless streak at Bramall Lane. The most alarming aspect of their home performances is the number of goals they have conceded, with four consecutive defeats in which they have let in five or more goals. This includes a particularly heavy 6-0 loss to Arsenal. The Blades have struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding an average of 4.33 goals per game over their last six home matches. On a slightly more positive note, their two most recent games have ended in high-scoring draws against Chelsea and Fulham, suggesting a potential improvement in their attacking play. However, with Sheffield United sitting at the bottom of the league table with just 16 points from 32 games, their home form must drastically improve if they hope to avoid relegation.

Burnley

Burnley's recent away form has been poor, with the team currently on a four-match losing streak. In their last six away games, they have failed to secure a single victory, drawing twice and losing four times. Notably, Burnley has conceded a high number of goals in these matches, with an average of 2.33 goals conceded per game. The team has also struggled to keep clean sheets, failing to do so in any of their previous six away fixtures. However, Burnley's matches have been entertaining for neutral fans, with 83% of the games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 67% of the encounters. The 3-0 defeat against Crystal Palace on 2024-02-24 stands out as a particularly disappointing result for Burnley.
