Sheffield United Preview
Sheffield United are looking to return to the English Premier League after their relegation in 2021 and are currently on track to finish second in the league table. With 54 points after 27 rounds, the club managed by Paul Heckingbottom owns one of the two places that grant direct promotion to the Premier League and is 11 points behind its closest rival, Watford.
Sheffield is also on an eleven game unbeaten in the Championship with nine wins and just two draws, while it is the team with the fewest goals conceded in the competition with only 24. In addition, playing at home, it is the second-best team in the division with 27 points after 13 games played and has not lost in front of their fans in six games.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Wesley Foderingham, Anel Ahmedhodzic, John Egan, Jack Robinson, Jayden Bogle, Sander Berge, Oliver Norwood, James McAtee, Max Lowe, Iliman Ndiaye, Billy Sharp.
Hull City Preview
Hull City have gradually moved away from the relegation places and come into this difficult match occupying the 16th place in the standings with 34 points, seven points below the promotion playoff places and eight points above one of the relegation places.
Coach Shota Arveladze’s men are one of the hottest teams of the last few rounds, having gone six consecutive matches without a loss thanks to four draws and two victories. The key to this streak has been the awakening of one of the league’s worst defenses. While they conceded only four goals in these six matches, including two clean sheets, Hull City remain the second-highest team in terms of goals conceded in the league with 43.
Another positive aspect for this team, before facing the mighty Sheffield Wednesday, is that they have not looked bad away from home, being the tenth-best team in the league in this condition. After 13 games played, they have 19 points and have not lost away from home in six games.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Matt Ingram, Cyrus Christie, Alfie Jones, Sean McLoughlin, Jacob Greaves, Greg Docherty, Jean Michael Seri, Tyler Smith, Regan Slater, Ryan Longman, Óscar Estupiñán.
JefeBet Prediction
Hull City are going through a good moment and have shown that playing away they are capable of doing damage. However, this coming Friday, things are not looking good for them.
Besides the fact that Sheffield United have already beaten them 2-0 this season, there is little the Tigers’ defense can do against the powerful attack of the Sabres, who have the second most goals scored with 47 and are also the lowest scorers in the tournament.
Prediction: Sheffield United to win (SHU 2 – HUL 0).
