Sheffield United - Hull City predictions

We don’t expect Sheffield United to have any issues beating Hull City. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.65 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Hull City fans are expecting them to triumph at The Blades this Friday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

The odds seemed to be stacked against The Blades in the previous round at Swansea City , but they managed to pull a surprise in a big way. They were losing at half-time against a much stronger opposition, but an excellent performance in the second half netted them 3 points and a stunning 1:2 victory.

Despite a slightly favourable match-up and a home-field advantage, Hull City’s latest Championship match did not end well for them. The first half ended in a draw, but the match ultimately went to the underdogs Queens Park Rangers.

With 6 goals in their previous 3 Championship matches, Sheffield United’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

Looking over their most recent appearances, Hull City have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net. The past 3 home games saw them concede over 5 times.

The Blades clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Hull City, but it was a rather narrow victory.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Tom Davies, Sam McCallum, Kieffer Moore for the hosts, and Lewie Coyle, Abdülkadir Ömür, Doğukan Sinik for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.85 odds.
