Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield United are undefeated ahead of their meeting this Tuesday in the Carabao Cup. The two will face off in the second round, each hoping to hold on to their unbeaten starts. This encounter hasn’t been won by the host team in the last four meetings, and our prediction backs an extension.
Blackburn Rovers have had a good start to the season, and their latest outing must have injected a big confidence boost. The Rovers are coming off a 2-1 home win against Middlesbrough.
That marked their second win in three outings, and Blackburn can only target improving defensively here. They haven’t managed a clean sheet so far this season.
Sheffield United are also unbeaten in the season, but they only have one win in three matches. The Blades beat Mansfield in the opening round of the League Cup.
They were comfortable 3-0 winners starting off what is proving to be a great defensive run. Sheffield haven’t conceded at all in their three matches and are unbeaten in four at the moment.
Their latest outing ended 0-0 away to Swansea, and they have three wins in four matches on the road. As this fixture has favored the away team lately, Sheffield will be hopeful going into the match.
