Sheffield United v Hull Match Preview
Is the Championship a quality division because its so tight or is the Championship so tight because it lacks quality? A question that many have asked but not one that Sheffield United necessarily have to worry about.
Before another round of Championship festivities gets underway, the Blades find themselves 11-points clear of Watford in third and with none of the playoff hopeful being able to generate anything in the way of real consistency, such a margin does not look like being threatened anytime soon.
Which is why United boss Paul Heckingbottom’s perspective has changed from aiming to be in the top six mix to winning the division outright and with they and Burnley seemingly a class apart, it is these two who will be gunning out for EFL Championship honours.
While before such prizes are handed out, the Bramall Lane outfit must deal with the bread-and-butter objectives first. They may already have designs on life in the Premier League, they still need to make sure promotion is secured.
To do that, it is league wins at home which will keep the momentum going and with Hull acting as the next opposition in town, manager Heckingbottom and his men will look to extend an unbeaten run of seven league matches.
21 points on offer, 19 in the bag and as impressive as this run is, Hull’s own recent efforts should not be overlooked either. They themselves have gone unbeaten in seven – albeit their streak has come on the road.

Home or away, league points are still league points and Liam Rosenior’s men managed to nick one at the death last weekend. A Óscar Estupiñán strike in the deepest of injury time was enough to salvage a draw at home to struggling Huddersfield.
One that also means it is six unbeaten in any Championship setting and since Rosenior’s installation as Hull manager, the club has found itself generating some much-needed stability. The playoffs may be out of reach, but life in the second tier will certainly continue into 2024.
Although strangely enough it does seem as if Hull are better on the road and when you consider that in their last six home matches, they lost the first three and then drew the next trio, a change of setting may play into their hands on Friday evening.
With that in mind, our latest bet builder is now up for grabs, and it looks like this:
- Sheffield United Win
- Iliman Ndiaye to score anytime
- Under 3 total goals
For my latest bet builder offering, the spotlight is being shown on Iliman Ndiaye. The Senegalese forward has already scored 10 league goals for the Blades this season, I am marking him down for an 11th on Friday.
While a goal for Ndiaye should see Sheffield United on the way to another victory, as Hull’s unbeaten run on the road comes to an end. Add no more than three total goals into the mix and this construction is priced at a rather tempting 12/1.
