In-form Sheffield United are set to maintain their push for the promotion playoffs as they welcome Hull City to Bramall Lane in the English Championship. They will be confident of coming out on top against Hull, who have been on a downward spiral lately.
Sheffield United have been one of the in-form teams in the Championship and are making a push for the playoffs. They head into Tuesday’s clash unbeaten in their last six matches, claiming four wins in that run.
The Blades suffered a setback in their playoff quest as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Huddersfield Town last time out. Despite that result, Paul Heckingbottom's men remain in contention as they sit eighth on the table, just three points behind sixth placed Middlesbrough.
Sheffield United’s recent resurgence has been built on an impressive home form which has seen them win their last three matches at Bramall Lane. They have also looked solid at the back lately with clean sheets in their last four home matches.
While Sheffield United have been on the rise, things have been a bit different for Hull City in recent weeks. They have lost their last three matches and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Championship leaders Fulham in their previous fixture.
That poor run of results means Hull City have been on a steady decline down the table and are now sitting in 19th. They are 12 points above the bottom three and are not in any present danger of being dragged into the relegation scrap.
Things are even worse for Hull City on their travels as they have lost three of their last four away matches. The last fixture on the road for Shota Arveladze’s men was a 3-1 defeat at relegation threatened Derby County.
How the bookies view it
Sheffield United have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 4/7 by bet365 to claim the win. An unlikely victory for Hull City is valued at 6/1 by Coral while Betfred is offering odds of 16/5 for a draw.
Recent head to head
Sheffield United have won the last four meetings with Hull City and claimed a 3-1 victory in the reverse fixture back in September with Billy Sharp getting the opener.
Players to watch
Billy Sharp remains the man in form for Sheffield United and has scored 11 Championship goals this season. The veteran striker was also on target in the reverse fixture and is priced at 27/20 by Unibet to find the net on Tuesday.
Sheffield United have also shown some quality at the other end of the pitch, keeping clean sheets in their last four home matches. Chris Basham, Jack Robinson and John Egan are expected to continue their partnership at the back and can lead the Blades to another clean sheet at 11/10 with bet365.
Anything else catch the eye?
Sheffield United have won to nil in three of their last four matches with Hull City and a repeat is priced at 6/4 with bet365. The Blades have been the only team to score in their last three home matches and that run could be tipped to continue at 6/4 with bet365.
Given Hull City’s problems lately, a -1 handicap for Sheffield United could also be considered at 13/8 with Skybet.
