Match preview

Blackburn host Sheffield United at Ewood Park in Championship action, with both sides separated by just a single point in the lower mid-table positions after five rounds of fixtures.

Blackburn have hit a difficult spell, remaining winless in their last four competitive matches with three defeats in that sequence. Their defensive stability has been tested, failing to keep a clean sheet across their home matches so far this season and missing several first-team contributors through fitness issues.

Sheffield United arrive having suffered a 3-1 home loss to Norwich, but their away form remains steady with two draws from two Championship travels. The Blades also hold recent positive memories at this venue, having claimed a 2-1 victory at Ewood Park in cup competition in late August.

Confidence65%

Sheffield Utd or Draw — 68% confidence

Sheffield United have avoided defeat in both of their away league fixtures this season and recently won 2-1 at Ewood Park in cup competition. Blackburn enter this clash on a four-match winless run across all competitions, having lost three of those games, while dealing with eight players listed as unavailable.

Yes — 65% confidence

Blackburn have scored and conceded in all three of their home fixtures this season, finishing with scorelines of 2-1, 1-2, and 1-2. Sheffield United have also seen both teams find the net in three of their last four competitive fixtures, matching the 60 percent both-teams-to-score rate recorded across the last ten head-to-head meetings.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and both teams to score), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
