Sheff Utd v Hull

Sheffield United vs Hull City Preview

Sheffield United will be going in search of a fourth league win on the trot in the Championship on Friday night when they play host to relegation threatened Hull City at Bramall Lane, which in turn would send The Blades to the top of the Championship table ahead of this weekend's action.

Hull City currently occupy third from bottom spot in the Championship table and therefore amongst the relegation zone following a midweek 2-1 loss at home to a resurgent QPR outfit, and The Tigers face another tough challenge at Bramall Lane on Friday night.

Sheffield United currently sit in second place and just one point behind the Championship league leaders, Burnley, heading into this upcoming encounter and manager Chris Wilder will be urging his players onto a fourth victory on the trot after his side recently accounted for the likes of Watford, Norwich City and Swansea City respectively.

Recent results overall have been impressive from the Yorkshire club's point of view as The Blades have suffered just two losses within their previous 17 matches overall in the English second tier along with collecting no fewer than 12 wins in the process.

In addition, Sheffield United have slipped to just a single defeat in their last 18 home games in the English second tier, picking up a total of 15 wins as well. Hull City returned to losing ways in the Championship in midweek after being handed a 2-1 defeat at home to QPR, leaving The Tigers sitting in the relegation zone ahead of what looks like being another tough day at the office for the visitors when they make their way to Bramall Lane.

The bigger picture shows Hull City have really struggled to make an impact upon the win column in the Championship for some time now as the visitors have gained just three wins from their previous 20 matches overall, which were achieved against Swansea City, Blackburn Rovers and Millwall respectively.

However, Rubén Sellés's side have also been dealt no fewer than 12 defeats within this 20-game period in the domestic second tier and six of these 12 losses have also been inflicted upon Hull City on their travels as well.

That said, Hull City have won their last two away games on the trot but having also succumbed to six defeats within their last nine outings on the road as well, The Tigers look to have their work cut out against a much more consistent and in-form Sheffield United outfit in this upcoming encounter.

Sheffield United v Hull City Verdict

Sheffield United have held the upper hand over Hull City in previous exchanges as The Blades have won seven of the last eight encounters and the hosts should get the job done here on Friday night as well.
