Sheffield United vs Blackburn Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions
In the context of the Championship at this stage of the season, a match pitting Sheffield United against Blackburn is a big one. The two sides face off at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane, with two points separating them after four league games. Sheffield have seven points in fourth place and league leaders Blackburn have nine points. A 2-1 win over Sunderland in the last games was Sheffield United’s second victory of the season, and an improvement from two straight winless outings. They have scored twice in three of their last four matches but one clean sheet in five matches means defence is the area they should be keen on fixing. The Blades have failed to score twice in their last five matches. Both of Sheffield’s wins this season were in home matches, making it seven wins in 10 Championship games at home.
Sheffield United have dominated this fixture, and Blackburn will be keen on stopping their poor run against this host. Blackburn have lost four times in the last five meetings with Sheffield United and this game comes right after Blackburn’s first loss of the season. Blackburn are reeling from a 3-0 loss to Reading, a shock result that cut short their run of four straight wins and it was also the first time in five matches that they failed to score. Before that loss, no other team had registered a perfect run in the season, and now Blackburn have to work hard to ensure they don’t drop more points. With three clean sheets in five matches they can bank on their defence and having scored two or more in three of their last four matches, they will be confident enough.

Our Sheffield United vs Blackburn Prediction
Blackburn have had a good start to the season and will be banking on that to lift them here. However, they meet a Sheffield side they know will not be easy to face, especially as they play at home. This isn’t a game Blackburn have done so well in, and their away run in the Championship will not favor them. Back Sheffield United to win.
