Sheffield United vs Hull Betting Tips - Sheffield United to Win
All signs point to a home win on Friday with Sheffield United well-positioned to secure another three points as they take on Hull City at Bramall Lane.
United maintained their advantage at the top of the Championship with a fine 2:1 win at Swansea last weekend. Harrison Burrows' second-half penalty helped Chris Wilder´s to a vital road victory that leaves them two points clear of old rivals Leeds in the promotion race.
At Bramall Lane, the Blades have been formidable, winning 10 of their last 12 matches, with an outstanding record of keeping clean sheets in all 10 of those victories.
Hull City come into Friday's Championship fixture on the back of a disappointing 2:1 home reversal against QPR, a result that leaves them 21st in the division, hovering above the relegation zone on goal difference. Rubén Sellés´s side lost 12 and won only three of 20 league fixtures since August.
The Tigers have struggled on the road, losing five of their last seven away matches while they failed to net in five of seven defeats on their travels this season.
Given Hull’s struggles and Sheffield United’s exceptional clean sheet record at home, a Blades win to nil seems likely on Friday.
I’m backing the hosts to secure yet another home win, with the "win to nil" selection also worth a look for those searching for extra value.
