Blackburn vs Sheffield United prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 2, 2024
One of the matches of the 13th round of the Championship will be played on Saturday at Ewood Park, where local team Blackburn will host Sheffield United. I suggest a bet on the total number of goals in this match.
Blackburn
Last season in the Championship, the "Rovers" finished in a disappointing 19th place, narrowly avoiding relegation—just three points above the drop zone. However, it seems the club has learned from that unfortunate experience, as they started this new season relatively well and even briefly found themselves in the top three teams.
Currently, Blackburn sits in sixth place in the league table with 19 points. Their recent results have been the cause of their drop in standings. After a strong start, they have suffered three defeats in their last five matches. In their most recent outing, the team lost 0-1 in an away match against Watford.
Sheffield United
Chris Wilder's team, which returned to the Championship after a disappointing season in the Premier League where the "Blades" finished last with a meager 16 points, is demonstrating serious ambitions to return to the elite. In the current Championship season, Sheffield United occupies fourth place in the table, trailing leaders Sunderland by five points.
Like their upcoming opponents, Sheffield United was unbeaten in the Championship for a long stretch. However, they have suffered defeats in two away matches, losing 0-2 to Leeds and 0-1 to Middlesbrough. In their last round, the "Blades" won 2-0 against Stoke City at home, marking their seventh victory in the first 12 matches.
