Blackburn Rovers will be eager to put an end to their worrying run when they face Sheffield United in Championship round six. The hosts are winless in their last four matches in all competitions after losing 2-1 to local rivals Preston at the weekend. Tom Atcheson returns from suspension, but Pickering, Miller, Kargbo, Ohashi and Toth remain sidelined. Blackburn have won just 20% of their last ten home games, scoring only 1.00 goal per match while conceding 1.40.
Sheffield United, meanwhile, suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Norwich last time out, producing only 0.79 xG. Tahith Chong, Ryan One, Harrison Burrows and Femi Seriki are all unavailable through injury. Despite that setback, the Blades have won 67% of their last six away matches, scoring 1.83 goals per game and conceding just 0.83. The visitors have also dominated this fixture historically, winning nine of the last 13 meetings, while 62% of those clashes produced over 2.5 goals.
As Sheffield Utd's fine away record gives them the edge in Tuesday's encounter, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Sheffield United Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (62% H2H).
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 8 September 2026 at 19:45.
