Sheffield United will not be advancing to the promotion playoffs, which makes their game against Blackburn more meaningful to their visitors. The two sides clash in the 44th round in the Championship with Sheffield 12th and Blackburn 21st. Let’s have a look at our prediction for this match.
Sheffield United have paid a heavy price for a poor start to the campaign. They will not reach last season’s heights, when they got to the playoffs.
The Blades won their last two outings, the most recent a 2-0 victory at Watford. That, however, was a little too late as they trail the playoff places by 12 points with three matches to go.
The reverse meeting between these two sides ended in a 3-1 win for Sheffield United. That marked a fourth straight winless outing for Blackburn in this fixture.
The Rovers have lost three of those four and have only managed two wins in their last 10 meetings with Sheffield United. That performance against their hosts and the fact that they come here winless in four matches don't bode well for their ambitions.
They will, however, have positives to take from their 1-1 draw with Coventry last time out. As they look to build on that, Blackburn will also be looking to better their away win in the league, being winless in 14 of 22 games.
