Sheffield United vs Hull City Predictions

• Seven of Sheffield United’s last ten games have gone under 2.5 goals
  
• The Blades have kept a clean sheet in the last four Championship head-to-heads
• Hull have just one win in the last 13 meetings between these two teams

Cagey affair on the cards

Sheffield United have made a habit of grinding out results recently and they may have to do so again when they host Hull in Friday’s Championship clash.

The Blades picked up a 2-1 win over the ten men of Swansea on Tuesday and face a quick turnaround as they host the Tigers just three days later.

The visitors are battling it out at the wrong end of the table but have improved since the arrival of former Reading manager Ruben Selles.

His side have conceded just three times in their last four away games and could make life difficult for a home team who are still dealing with an injury crisis despite their lofty position in the second tier.

Seven of Sheffield United’s last ten games in all competitions have gone under 2.5 goals and this could be another to follow suit.

Blades have a fine recent record in this fixture

Chris Wilder’s men have the second-best defensive record in the division, conceding just 18 times in 28 games, and may have to lean heavily on their back line and impressive goalkeeper Michael Cooper once again, side with under 2.5 goals to land.

The Blades have won six of the last seven head-to-heads and could grind out another success, take them to win 2-0.
