Hull v Sheff Utd

Hull vs Sheffield United Preview

Hull City will return to their MKM Stadium for this Friday night's clash in the Championship against Sheffield United when the English top two tiers return following the international break and The Tigers will be hoping it's not a horrific return to action on Friday 13th after failing to win any of their last 12 matches in all competitions.

Five games into the domestic competitive season and the hosts are still waiting to register their first win of the new campaign after a 2-0 defeat away from home at Leeds United just before the break along with draws in each of their three preceding games against Millwall, Plymouth Argyle and Bristol City.

Results overall though have been poor since towards the end of last season as Hull City's last victory in the Championship was back in April with a 3-2 win away from home at Coventry City but you have to go back to mid-April to find Hull City's last league win on home soil at their MKM Stadium.

In addition, Hull City have now also failed to win any of their previous six games at home in all competitions and this poor record does not bode well for the upcoming visit of Sheffield United on Friday night.

Sheffield United by contrast headed into the international break on the back of a 1-0 home win against Watford which saw The Blades return to winning ways after being dealt a 1-0 loss on the road at Barnsley in a Yorkshire derby which followed a three-game unbeaten start to this new Championship campaign.

The Yorkshire visitors had previously begun their new season in positive fashion as The Blades registered a solid and impressive 2-0 win away from home at Deepdale against Preston NE as well as picking up points in draws with QPR and Norwich City in 2-2 and 1-1 draws respectively.

After suffering the misery of relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season, Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder is once again tasked with getting his side back into the English top flight and the minimum requirement will be a play-off place come the end of the season at the very least.

A horrific end to last season's miserable top flight campaign ended with Sheffield United losing six of their final seven outings on the road but this term the visitors have lost just once in their last seven away games in all competitions.

Hull City v Sheffield United Verdict

Sheffield United have held the upper hand in previous exchanges against Hull City as the visitors have won five out of the last six meetings and The Blades look the more likely in this upcoming clash as well.

Therefore, our main bet will be Sheffield Utd win @ 2.10
