Sheffield United form and stats

Sheffield United are steadily winning Championship games and points here at Bramall Lane. 8 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 13 games. It’s been three wins in a row for Sheffield here at Bramall Lane, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

A nice win for Sheffield United last time playing, versus Stoke City. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Ndiaye and Bogle (2) scoring for the victors. Midfielder Bogle was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.3 (out of ten) in that game. Bogle scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Before that, a fine away victory at Millwall. A FA Cup match.

Both teams to score! That has occurred in 5 league matches in a row for this club. Could it happen again?

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (29 in 13 games), Sheffield United's attacking play is working.

Hull City form and stats

The visitors are W5-D4-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Championship. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Hull City are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Hull delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Huddersfield Town (placed 22nd) in their previous game. The attacker Estupiñán got a match rating of 7.45 in that game. Estupiñán scored one goal and hit the woodwork once.

The game before that was the FA Cup-duel against Fulham, a home loss (0-2).

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Hull City have scored 19 goals in 13 league games away. Hull City struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 20 goals conceded from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Sheffield have avoided defeat in the last 6 games (4-2-0) facing Hull City.
