Sheffield United 0-3 Hull City

Current streaks

Recent form

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, but have managed to maintain their position at the top of the Championship table. The Blades are currently on a three-match winning streak in the league, bouncing back impressively from their FA Cup defeat to Cardiff City. Despite conceding in five of their last six matches, United have been consistently finding the back of the net, scoring in all but one game during this period. Their goal difference of +2 over the last six matches suggests a relatively balanced performance, with their attack slightly outperforming their defence. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent games have seen both teams score, indicating that while Sheffield United are potent in attack, they may need to tighten up defensively to maintain their league-leading position.

Hull City

Hull City's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The Tigers have struggled to find consistency, alternating between positive and negative results. Despite their low position in the table, Hull have shown resilience in defence, keeping two clean sheets in their last six games. The standout match in this period was undoubtedly the thrilling 3-3 draw against Leeds United, which showcased Hull's attacking potential. However, their goal-scoring record remains modest, averaging just over one goal per game. Hull City's ability to keep matches tight is evident, with 67% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's current position of 21st in the Championship highlights their ongoing battle against relegation, and they will need to improve their form to climb the table.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have shown mixed form at home in their recent fixtures, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches at Bramall Lane. The Blades have been particularly strong defensively, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only 0.67 goals per game on average. However, their attacking output has been somewhat limited, scoring just six goals across these six matches. Interestingly, all of Sheffield United's recent home games have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of matches seeing under 2.5 goals. The team have managed to secure back-to-back wins twice in this period, but have also suffered consecutive defeats. Despite their inconsistent home form, Sheffield United's overall league performance has been impressive, as they currently sit atop the Championship table with 58 points from 28 games.

Hull City

Hull City's recent away form has been a tale of two halves, with the Tigers experiencing a challenging run followed by a promising upturn. The team endured a four-match losing streak on the road, conceding seven goals and scoring just twice during that period. However, Hull City have shown resilience by bouncing back with two consecutive 1-0 victories in their most recent away fixtures. These back-to-back clean sheets demonstrate an improvement in their defensive solidity. Despite their recent struggles, the Tigers have managed to keep matches relatively low-scoring, with 67% of their last six away games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their goal-scoring output remains a concern, averaging less than one goal per game on their travels, which has contributed to their current 21st position in the league table.
