The Blades have been particularly stingy at the back, conceding only one goal in their last six matches across all competitions, resulting in an exceptional goals conceded per game average of 0.17. While their attacking output has been modest, with just 5 goals scored in 6 games, their defensive solidity has been key to their success. Notably, all of Sheffield United's recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of their games featuring under 2.5 goals and no instances of both teams scoring in the same match.

Luton Town's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last 6 games, placing them 18th in the Championship. Their goal-scoring average of 1.33 per game is respectable, but they're conceding slightly more at 1.5 goals per game. Notably, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, indicating exciting games for spectators. The team's tendency towards high-scoring affairs is evident, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. While there are no extended winning or losing streaks, their most recent victory against Sheffield Wednesday broke a brief two-game winless run. The 3-1 loss to Plymouth Argyle stands out as the highest-scoring game in this period, contributing to Luton's slightly negative goal difference of -1.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield United's recent home form shows a strong positive trend, with the team currently on a three-game winning streak in the Championship, each match ending in a narrow 1-0 victory. Their last six home games have seen them win four, draw one, and lose one, demonstrating resilience at Bramall Lane. The Blades have kept three clean sheets in their last four home matches, indicating a solid defensive performance. The standout game in terms of scoring was their 4-2 victory over Wrexham in the League Cup, which was the only match in this period where they scored more than two goals. Despite their recent low-scoring wins, Sheffield United's overall goal average of 2.67 per game suggests they're capable of more prolific performances, with an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals.

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent away form has been mixed, with only one win in their last six away matches. Their lone victory came against Millwall, sandwiched between two defeats. The team has struggled to find consistent goal-scoring form on the road, averaging less than a goal per game (0.83) in their last six outings. Defensively, they've been somewhat more solid, conceding 1.17 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. The majority of their away games (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards lower-scoring encounters. Interestingly, their highest-scoring away game in this period was a 3-1 loss to Plymouth Argyle, which stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise low-scoring run. The team's ability to secure draws (3 in 6 games) has been crucial in their away performances, helping them avoid a more severe dip in form.
