Simply you can do this to achieve it. I hope it helps

In Controller:

$url = url()->previous();
$route = app('router')->getRoutes($url)->match(app('request')->create($url))->getName();

if($route == 'RouteName') {
    //Do required things
 }

In blade file

@php
 $url = url()->previous();
 $route = app('router')->getRoutes($url)->match(app('request')->create($url))->getName();
@endphp

@if($route == 'RouteName')
   //Do one task
@else
  // Do another task
@endif
