Sheffield United made it two wins on the bounce in the Championship on the weekend as The Blades registered a 2-0 win away from home at Watford which followed on from a previous 2-1 home win over play-off hopefuls Hull City.
This recent upturn in form will have come as welcome relief for manager Chris Wilder and his side as Sheffield United had previously endured a sticky six-match winless run in the domestic second tier which consisted of three draws along with three defeats.
Two of The Blades’ recent three losses were incurred on their travels after defeats at Norwich City and Bristol City while overall form at Bramall Lane has been a little inconsistent as their home record of 9-4-8 35/27 indicates.
Blackburn Rovers managed to hold newly-promoted Coventry City to a 1-1 draw on home soil at Ewood Park last Friday night which has given Rovers a five-point buffer between themselves and the relegation zone ahead of this upcoming trip to Bramall Lane.
Recently appointed manager, Michael O’Neill, has transformed Blackburn Rovers into a tough side to beat in recent times as the visitors have been dealt just the single loss in their last seven games in the Championship.
However, the bigger picture shows Blackburn have managed to capture just two wins from their last 11 attempts, while an overall record away from home which stands at 8-4-10 20/28 suggests this upcoming encounter with a recently rejuvenated Sheffield United outfit may cause the visitors a few problems.
The Betting Verdict
Sheffield United have won five of their last six meetings at home against Blackburn Rovers.
The Pick :
Sheffield Utd 2-1 Blackburn Rovers
