Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield United will both seek returns to winning ways when they meet in the Championship this Tuesday. After winning just once apiece in the league, the two sides are separated by a point. Sheffield have done well away to Blackburn of late and our prediction tips them for a win here.
This match marks the second meeting between these two sides this season alone. They faced off in the League Cup and Sheffield claimed a 2-1 away win.
Blackburn had a good start to the season, collecting four points from the first two games and a win in the League Cup. However, they’ve managed just one more point in the three league games that followed and in the process, they also got eliminated from the cup competition.
Sheffield United have had good moments facing Blackburn away from home. Their league meeting comes about a fortnight after meeting for the first time this season.
The win in that cup game was their straight away from home against Blackburn. Sheffield are however, coming off their first defeat of the season, breaking a run of six matches unbeaten.
Playing at home, they were completely outgunned by Norwich City, who won 3-1. The defeat was coming though, as Sheffield had lost their defensive mojo, conceding twice in the earlier two matches, having started the season with three clean sheets.
