Recent form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently sitting in 23rd position in the Championship and on a three-game losing streak in the league. They have failed to secure a win in their last six matches across all competitions, managing only two draws during this period. Their goal-scoring output has been particularly weak, averaging just 0.67 goals per game, while conceding an average of 1.83 goals per match. The team has struggled defensively, keeping only one clean sheet in their last six games. Notably, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, including a high-scoring 3-1 defeat to Sunderland. Portsmouth's negative goal difference of -7 over these six games highlights their difficulties at both ends of the pitch, painting a picture of a team struggling to find its footing in the early stages of the season.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United are currently in impressive form, sitting 5th in the Championship with 12 points from 6 games. The Blades are on a three-game winning streak in the league, showcasing their defensive prowess with three consecutive clean sheets. Their recent form of WWWDDL demonstrates a significant improvement after a slow start to the season. While their attacking output is modest at 1.17 goals per game, their defensive record is noteworthy, conceding only 0.67 goals per game. The team's matches tend to be low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their games featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their strong league form, it's worth noting that they suffered a League Cup exit to Barnsley, breaking up what would have been a five-game unbeaten run across all competitions.

Recent home/away form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent home form has been concerning, with a notable downturn in performance. They are currently on a four-game winless streak at home, including three consecutive losses in their last three matches. Their only victory in the last six home games came against Barnsley in a high-scoring 3-2 encounter. Defensively, Portsmouth has struggled, conceding 11 goals in six games, with an average of 1.83 goals conceded per game. They've managed just one clean sheet during this period, which came in a goalless draw against Luton Town. The team's goal-scoring has also been an issue, with only 5 goals scored in 6 games, averaging less than a goal per game. Interestingly, 67% of their home games have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting that while Portsmouth may be struggling, their matches are often eventful for spectators.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United's recent away form has been impressive, with the team remaining unbeaten in their last four competitive matches on the road. In their last six away games across all competitions, they've secured three wins, two draws, and suffered only one loss, which came in the League Cup against Barnsley. The team has shown defensive solidity, keeping two clean sheets and conceding an average of just 0.67 goals per game in this period. While their attacking output has been steady, with 1.33 goals scored per game, it's worth noting that 83% of these matches have seen under 2.5 total goals, indicating a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. Their most recent away victory, a 2-0 win against Hull City in the Championship, underscores their ability to perform well in important league fixtures on opposition grounds.
