Sheffield United take on the visitors Hull in the round 28 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, January 20th at Bramall Lane (Sheffield).
Sheffield United looks extremely convincing right now. The Blades recently made their way to the Premier League and even stayed there for 2 seasons in a row. But, as often happens, having taken off after the 2nd draw, then the team almost went in transit to League One. A timely bet on Paul Heckingbottom helped. Already last season, he lifted the team to 5th place, but lost in the playoffs to the future triumphant, Nottingham Forest. But now, while continuing to play in the cup, they managed to win 9 of the last 11 rounds, including 3-1 with Stoke on January 14th.

Hull tries to break away from the danger zone. The Tigers were also quite recently a Premier League team. But now there is no hope that they will be able to return there - moreover, only in 2021 it was possible to return from League One. For starters, the team took 19th place. There were hopes for progress, but instead there was a difficult start, for which Shota Arveladze paid with his position. After parting with the Georgian, the Turkish owners of the project made a bet on Liam Rosenior, an ex-football player with almost zero experience as a mentor. It still works, especially in winter. In the last 9 matches there was only 1 defeat, and in the last 6 it was possible to take a couple of victories with 4 draws.
Sheffield United have not lost to Hull for 6 matches in a row. And already in September it turned out to get a confident 2-0 on the away side. The Tigers are not bad, but still they are not good enough to stop the leader of the Championship on the road. We are waiting for the victory of the "Blades" on their own arena.
Prediction for the match: Sheffield United to win.
