Blackburn vs Sheffield United Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Ian John in Championship Predictions
Our first match prediction this weekend is a top six clash in the Championship. Sixth-placed Blackburn Rovers will defend their unbeaten home record against Sheffield United, who lie three points and two places higher than their hosts in the current Championship table. Will the Blades prove be too sharp for Rovers?
On the face of it, that looks unlikely. Rovers are unbeaten at Ewood Park this season, winning five of their six games at home, drawing the other. They have scored 12 goals in those six matches, conceding just three. That is a terrific home record.
However, Rovers have won just one of their last five games (a 1-0 home win over Swansea) and since then they have drawn 0-0 at home with West Brom and then lost last weekend 1-0 away to Watford.
Like Blackburn, Sheffield United are unbeaten at home (five wins, one draw) but have lost their last two away games. They were beaten 2-0 by Leeds a fortnight ago, before travelling to Middlesbrough and losing 1-0. However, they bounced back at the weekend earning a 2-0 win over Stoke City at Bramall Lane.
With just one win in their last five on the road for the Blades, this looks like being a close contest between two well-matched teams on Saturday.
