Looking at the Championship standings, the current difference between the sides is three points and 11 places.

Hull go into their next Championship match, scoring a humble average of 1.3 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 13 times, while conceding 12. That amounts to an average of 1.2 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Hull vs Sheffield United Prediction

Hull Form

In the previous three games, Hull drew 1-1 with Plymouth, lost 0-0 against Millwall and 2-0 against Leeds. Hull just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Championship matches at the The MKM Stadium. They also drew four and lost one of these six encounters, in which they scored nine and conceded eight goals.

While a title battle is perhaps a long shot, a top three finish does not look beyond Sheffield United, should they catch some strong momentum in this early phase of the campaign.

Sheffield United Form

Sheffield United claimed a single victory in their last three matches. They started with a 1-1 draw against Norwich. Afterwards, a 1-0 defeat against Barnsley followed, before beating Watford 1-0. Sheffield United won three of a possible six away matches in the Championship, as well as playing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored six while also conceding five times.

While a title battle is perhaps a long shot, a top three finish does not look beyond Sheffield United, should they catch some strong momentum in this early phase of the campaign.

It seems both Sheffield United and Hull have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Friday, and we are rooting for goals.
