Hull City vs Sheffield United Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | EFL Championship 2024-25

Both sides have struggled to win games in the new season.

The mini-international break is over. It’s time for the 2024-25 EFL Championship to resume again. This week, one of the most awaited fixtures of the English second division is scheduled, when two rivals Hull City and Sheffield United lock horns.

Hosts Hull City are not having a great time in the Championship. The club lost against Leeds United on the last day of August and drew the other three games they played before. In short, the Tigers are still searching for their first win in the competition.

Sheffield United are enjoying a way better run. They are unbeaten so far with two wins and two draws in their tally. The Chris Wilder-managed side will be aiming to secure full points when they face Hull City on Friday night.

Kick-Off:

Friday, 13 September at 8:00 PM UK

Saturday, 14 September at 12:30 AM IST

Location: MKM Stadium, Hull.

Form

Hull City (in all competitions): L-D-D-L-D

Sheffield United (in all competitions): W-L-D-D-W

Players to Watch:

Xavier Simons (Hull City)

The former Chelsea youth side defensive midfielder is expected to be the most crucial player for Hull City in the upcoming fixture. His apt tackles and ball distributions will be extremely vital against a decent Sheffield United FC attack. 

Simons needs to be given full minutes to excel. It has been observed that he played only the first two games full, and the team earned draws in both.

Kieffer Moore (Sheffield United)

The veteran striker has played in almost every minute for Sheffield United in the ongoing Championship. But, he still managed to score only one goal so far.

A goal-thirsty Moore playing for his new club will be eager to strike. Both fans and teammates will dream of his breakthrough in this game.

Match Facts:

• The hosts last won an EFL Championship game in April.
• Sheffield United are unbeaten in the ongoing tournament.
• Hosts Hull City have scored only two goals in the tournament so far.
