Blackburn - Sheffield United: Form Analysis
Both Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield United are coming from key wins in the fifth round of the FA Cup, against Premier League sides. They have been drawn against each other in the quarter finals with United having home advantage. Blackburn Rovers were winners away from home against Leicester City, and will come into this game on a 10-game unbeaten run. That was their fourth straight win and they’ve scored five times in the last two games. The hosts will however look to improve on their defensive run, having managed just two clean sheets in the last five matches. At home they’ve done well defensively though. Blackburn have four straight clean sheets in league games at home but they will hope to do better in attack, having failed to score more than a goal in the last five home games.
Sheffield United are bringing back some stability to their game; they are on two straight wins, halting a run of two straight defeats. They have also managed two straight clean sheets with the 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup coming right after a similar win against Watford. The Blades have three wins in their last five matches, all of them at home, and they will hope to rise to the occasion when they travel for this game. Sheffield United have managed just one win away from home in the last five matches. They’ve conceded six goals in just the last three away matches, but they’ve scored two or more in three of the last four away matches.
