Our first match prediction this weekend is a top six clash in the Championship. Sixth-placed Blackburn Rovers will defend their unbeaten home record against Sheffield United, who lie three points and two places higher than their hosts in the current Championship table. Will the Blades prove be too sharp for Rovers?
On the face of it, that looks unlikely. Rovers are unbeaten at Ewood Park this season, winning five of their six games at home, drawing the other. They have scored 12 goals in those six matches, conceding just three. That is a terrific home record.
However, Rovers have won just one of their last five games (a 1-0 home win over Swansea) and since then they have drawn 0-0 at home with West Brom and then lost last weekend 1-0 away to Watford.
Like Blackburn, Sheffield United are unbeaten at home (five wins, one draw) but have lost their last two away games. They were beaten 2-0 by Leeds a fortnight ago, before travelling to Middlesbrough and losing 1-0. However, they bounced back at the weekend earning a 2-0 win over Stoke City at Bramall Lane.
With just one win in their last five on the road for the Blades, this looks like being a close contest between two well-matched teams on Saturday.

Our Blackburn vs Sheffield United Prediction
Our prediction for the Blackburn Rovers vs. Sheffield United Championship clash is: Under 2.5 Goals.
There is an incredibly strong correlation in data for this fixture which strongly suggests we won't see too many goals. Blackburn have struggled for goals of late, but are very tight defensively at home. Sheff Utd do not score many, but are defensively very solid. As such, goals will likely be at a premium in this game on Saturday. As such, backing the Under 2.5 Goals option is the standout bet to make.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
