Sheffield United form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sheffield United, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Premier League, so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-6 (win-draw-lose). The manager C. Wilder is not happy with the away performances in the Premier League so far, as all 6 matches have been lost. Sheffield are desperate to end a 13-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Wolverhampton Wanderers fixture. A depressing six defeats in a row for Sheffield in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Aston Villa.

Sheffield might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Manchester United proved too strong as Sheffield United slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Bramall Lane (Sheffield). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Southampton wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Sheffield are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. The Sheffield manager C. Wilder has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Last four meetings between the teams: Brighton & Hove Albion won zero, Sheffield United won three and one draw. one game with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
