James Buttler looks ahead to Friday evening's Championship clash between the Tigers and the Blades and finds his best bets.
Hull City Yet To Roar
It’s been three draws and an away defeat to Leeds United so far for Hull City this season. The Tigers are down in 19th in the Championship table and with just 2 goals in four matches and none in the last two , Tim Walters is already under pressure at the helm and his team desperately need a boost as they host Sheffield Utd at the MKM Stadium on Friday evening.
The Blades Have Looked Sharp
It won’t be easy for the hosts though, as the Blades are unbeaten in an 8th position, that would be 5th without their two-point deduction for breaching financial regulations that they started with.
Chris Wilder’s team are 2 wins and 2 draws so far, which has swiftly erased that negative pointage and lifted spirits.
Will Hull Have Benefitted From the International Break?
Hull have added Kasey Palmer and Abu Kamara to their squad, but they need to turn the ship around quickly if they are to live up to their promotion credentials that they and many tipsters were hoping for. Palmer has been away on international duty so may not start this one. Hull will hope the international window will have allowed Walters some time to steady the ship.
Sheffield Utd Have Looked The Better Team
Hull face a Sheffield side that was also tipped as a team capable of jumping straight back into the top flight. If they can take 3 points in Hull on Friday they will be up to 3rd place, albeit pending the rest of the weekend’s fixtures.
James' Championship Tips
A win for Sheffield Utd is my first tip at a decent 23/20 with BetUK. They did the double over Hull two season’s ago, are unbeaten in the last 7 H2Hs between the teams (W6, D1), are simply playing better football. It’s a bet that makes a lot of sense.
In those last 7 meetings, Hull have scored just once, so taking Sheffield to win to nil ekes out a little more value at 3/1 with StarSports.
Finally, Under 2.5 match goals has landed in each of the last four Sheffield Utd away matches. Under 2.5 goals is 28/29 with vBet and Sheffield Utd to win and Under 2.5 match goals is a tempting 4/1 with BoyleSports.
Please always gamble responsibly.
