Prediction published on 13/09/2024, 06:21  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

Winless Hull face an uphill task to end that drought as they restart the Championship campaign against an unbeaten Sheffield United. This match five of the season will be played at the MKM Stadium in Kingston upon Hull on Friday, with our prediction favoring a low-scoring encounter.Hull went into the international break in 19th place with three points, while United are sixth with eight points and four from the top-placed Sunderland. The Tigers are winless in the season so far, with three draws and a loss, which came in their final match before the international break.

More than the defeat, it is the poor returns of the forward line that’s worrying the home fans. Hull have scored just two goals in this season and have failed to score in their last two league matches. Worryingly for them, their opponents in this match United have kept five clean sheets in their last six league matches against Hull, including three in a row.

The visitors are also unbeaten in the season with two wins and draws each, giving them better momentum than their hosts. United have already kept two clean sheets in the season and should be confident that they can continue that run against Hull.

Interestingly, they have conceded just one goal in their two away matches this season, having won 2-0 against Preston and drawn 1-1 against Norwich. That brings goals into focus and a low-scorer could be the outcome.
