EFL Championship
Our Three Predictions For Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield United
- First Prediction: Both teams to score – No – 17/20
- Second Prediction: Sheffield United to win – 73/50
- Third Prediction: Blackburn Rovers to not keep a clean sheet – 19/25
First Prediction for Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield United – Both teams to score – no – 17/20
Although Blackburn currently occupy the last play-off spot, they have failed to score in their previous three games out of their last five. In the Championship this season, John Eustace’s side have scored 16 goals, scored by nine different goalscorers. Even though the club invested in strikers in the summer, the only striker who has scored goals in the league is Andi Weimann, highlighting their problem in front of goal. The Blades’ recent form also shows their lack of goalscoring options, failing to score in two of their last five matches. Much like their opponents, their strikers aren’t firing on all cylinders, with Kieffer Moore and Tyrese Campbell only scoring three goals between them.
Second Prediction for Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield United – Sheffield United to win – 73/50
Currently sat fourth, the Blades could be sat in the automatic promotion spots if it wasn’t for a two-point deduction. Sheffield United have shown their ability to win games this season, winning two more, drawing one less and losing one less than Rovers have so far this season. With Blackburn’s recent poor form, they are clinging onto that play-off spot, and are sat sixth on goal difference. Despite their recent poor form, they have proved hard to beat at Ewood Park, but the quality Sheffield United possesses cannot be underestimated.
Third Prediction for Blackburn Rovers vs Sheffield United – Blackburn Rovers to not keep a clean sheet – 19/25
Conceding the most goals out of the teams sat in the play-offs, Eustace’s side have struggled defensively this season. Rovers have only managed three clean sheets this season, and despite the Blades somewhat struggling in front of goal, Rovers haven’t covered themselves in glory this season. On top of this, both Moore and Campbell were on the scoresheet against Stoke City last weekend, meaning both strikers will be feeling confident going into this one.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head
In all competitions, Blackburn have only won once in their last five matches. Although they held West Bromwich Albion to a draw, they have recently lost at the hands of Plymouth Argyle, Coventry City and Watford. A win for them next Saturday would make sure they hold onto that playoff spot for now.
Sheffield United have only lost twice in their last five, winning the other three games. Depending on other results in the division, three points could be enough to boost the Blades further up the table and potentially into the automatic promotion spots.
Since 2018, these sides have faced each other eight times, with Chris Wilder’s side coming out on top on six of these eight occasions. Blackburn have won the other two, with the sides never drawing against each other.
