Recent form
Bournemouth
Bournemouth's recent form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last six matches across all competitions. They are currently sitting in 13th position in the Premier League with 31 points from 26 games. The Cherries have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only six goals in their previous six matches, averaging one goal per game. Defensively, they have conceded eight goals in the same period, resulting in a negative goal difference of -2. Bournemouth's most recent match saw them secure a 2-0 victory against Burnley in the Premier League, ending a run of three consecutive defeats. Their FA Cup campaign came to an end with a 1-0 home loss to Leicester City. The majority of Bournemouth's recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 70% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals.
Sheffield United
Sheffield United's recent form has been extremely poor, with the team suffering a run of five defeats in their last six Premier League matches. Their only win during this period came against Luton, but they have conceded an alarming 21 goals in these six games, at an average of 3.5 goals per game. The Blades have been particularly vulnerable to heavy defeats, with three of their losses coming by margins of five or more goals, including a 6-0 thrashing at home to Arsenal and a 5-0 defeat to Brighton. Sheffield United's current position of 20th in the league table, having earned just 13 points from 27 games, underlines their struggles this season, and their leaky defense and inability to score consistently (averaging just 0.83 goals per game in their last six matches) suggest that they face an uphill battle to avoid relegation.
