Hull v Sheffield United Match Preview
Anything but an immediate return to the Premier League will be seen as failure for Sheffield United this season – possibly a harsh bar to set knowing the volatility of the Championship.
The Blades have taken two wins from their first four games on offer, and sit in eighth spot, unbeaten.
Chris Wilder would have taken this at the start of the season, but with a favourable run of fixtures left in September, he will be eyeing a top four berth for Sheffield United as they use their experience to navigate the Championship’s tricky waters.
Hull City finished seventh last season, punching well above their perceived weight, and after sacking Liam Rosenior are back to square one as owner Acun Ilicali searches for the perfect blend of attacking football…
Tigers without bite
Hull City will have to accept that it will take time to bed in their new team.
It’s a case of fresh ideas and fresh faces in Yorkshire this season and taking just three points from their opening four matches won’t do them too much in the confidence compartment.
They failed to bagged a striker at the end of the transfer window so will have to rely on the underwhelming and inexperienced Mason Burstow and Chris Bedia to lead the line.
It may well come good for Hull and their German manager, but not yet, with all signs pointing to an away win at 23/20 with bet365.
Durable Blades
Sheffield United may not be the defensively thrifty side of four or five seasons ago, but you can be sure that Chris Wilder will have them well drilled in defence.
The Blades have shipped just three goals in four Championship outings so far, and have only conceded more than one goal twice in their last 11 matches (including friendlies).
We’ve already touched on Hull’s concerns upfront, so another Sheffield United clean sheet on Friday night wouldn’t be a surprise.
Both teams NOT to score comes in at 11/10 with bet365.
