Hull City 0-2 Sheffield United

Current streaks

Recent form

Hull City

Hull City's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently sitting in 19th position in the league and failing to secure a win in their last six matches across all competitions. The Tigers have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only 3 goals in their last 6 games, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they've conceded 8 goals during this period, maintaining only one clean sheet. The team's goal difference of -5 reflects their difficulties at both ends of the pitch. Notably, 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring affairs. With three consecutive draws in their last three league matches, Hull City will be eager to break this pattern and secure their first win of the season to climb out of the lower reaches of the table.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United's recent form shows a mix of resilience and offensive capability. Despite a League Cup setback against Barnsley, they've remained unbeaten in their last four Championship matches, including a solid away win at Preston. Their offensive prowess was on full display in the high-scoring League Cup victory over Wrexham (4-2), contributing to an impressive tally of 10 goals in their last six games across all competitions. Defensively, they've been relatively sound, keeping two clean sheets and conceding only one goal per game on average. Their current 8th position in the league, with 6 points from 4 games, suggests they're competitive but have room for improvement. The team's ability to both score and prevent goals (1.67 scored and 1 conceded per game) indicates a balanced approach, though their tendency towards lower-scoring games (67% under 2.5 goals) might suggest a somewhat cautious playing style in the league.

Recent home/away form

Hull City

Hull City's recent home form has been underwhelming, with no wins in their last six matches at the MKM Stadium. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just four goals in these games, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per match. Defensively, they've also faced challenges, conceding eight goals and managing only one clean sheet. There's a notable run of three consecutive games without a win in their most recent Championship and League Cup fixtures. While there weren't any particularly high-scoring games, the 2-2 draw against Fiorentina in a friendly stands out as their highest-scoring match during this period. The team's difficulty in securing victories at home is reflected in their current 19th position in the league table, highlighting the need for improvement in their home performances.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United's recent away form shows a mixed bag of results, with their last six games yielding 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. The team has been prolific in front of goal, scoring 10 times in these matches for an average of 1.67 goals per game, while maintaining a solid defense, conceding only 5 goals (0.83 per game). Their most impressive away performance came in a friendly against Harrogate Town, where they scored 4 goals in a convincing victory. However, their most recent away game resulted in a 1-0 loss to Barnsley in the League Cup, breaking a four-game unbeaten streak on the road. Interestingly, 67% of their away matches have seen both teams score, but the same percentage have also finished with under 2.5 total goals, suggesting tightly contested affairs.
