Sheffield United will be away to Blackburn Rovers in their next match in the Championship. Both sides are locked in the relegation region, separated by a point. Read on to find our prediction of the match.
One point stands between the sides and this is the perfect chance to rise off the red zone. Blackburn have garnered seven points so far and they also have the advantage of a game in hand.
In their last outing, they fell 2-0 to Coventry, sending them winless in four matches. Playing at home should be a chance to bounce back but the Rovers have still been poor at home. In the last five matches they hosted, Blackburn lost four and drew one.
In their last three meetings between these two sides, Sheffield United are unbeaten. However, they aren’t coming into this match with their past form. This has so far unfolded as a torrid season for the Blades.
The return of Chris Wilder has instilled some positivity after leading them to two wins in the last five matches. However, there’s still much work to be done to match their past highs.
They did well in the last outing, with a 1-0 win against Watford. That was only their second league win this season, and served to lift them off the bottom of the table.
