Recent form
Sheffield United
Sheffield United's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with the team currently sitting 11th in the league table.

While they've managed to score an average of 1.67 goals per game, their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.17 goals per game. The Blades have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six matches.

Recent home/away form
Sheffield United
Sheffield United's recent home form has been mixed, with a notable improvement in their most recent matches. The team experienced a concerning three-game losing streak in their Premier League fixtures, conceding 10 goals during that run. However, they've shown signs of recovery in their last two home games, securing a win and a draw. The Blades have been involved in high-scoring encounters, with all six recent home matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of these games. Their 4-2 victory over Wrexham in the League Cup stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair. Despite struggling defensively, conceding an average of 2.67 goals per game, Sheffield United have managed to maintain a respectable scoring rate of 1.67 goals per game at home, indicating their ability to find the back of the net even in challenging matches.
Watford
Watford's recent away form shows a mixed bag of results, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 6 games. Their goal-scoring prowess is evident, averaging 1.83 goals per game, but their defensive record is equally leaky, conceding the same average. Notably, 67% of these matches saw over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs. The team's ability to find the net is particularly impressive in their last three competitive matches, each ending 3-2, including a thrilling victory against Millwall in their most recent Championship game. Despite the defensive concerns, Watford's attacking strength has helped them secure a strong 2nd position in the league with 9 points from 3 games, suggesting they're a formidable force on the road.
