Sheffield United vs Hull City prediction and betting tips on January 24, 2025

Game Prediction

In the 29th round of the English Championship on January 24, 2025, Sheffield United will play against Hull City. Both teams need the points: the hosts are fighting for a return to the Premier League, while the visitors are in danger of relegation to League 1.
Our prediction for the Sheffield United vs Hull City match
In 2023, Sheffield United confidently made their way to the Premier League. However, they appeared toothless under Heckingbottom and didn't show significant improvement under Wilder, ultimately relegating back to the Championship. Hull City, on the other hand, just missed out on promotion last season: with 70 points, they finished seventh in the final table.
Currently, Ruben Selles' team has significantly dropped in form. They've lost half of their matches and are now fighting for survival. From October until mid-December, they had no victories, but then managed to defeat Swansea and Blackburn. However, they lost on penalties to Doncaster in the cup at home and didn’t take any points from QPR in the last round. Sheffield United, under Chris Wilder, reached first place at one point, but a decline began after Christmas. They earned just one point in three matches, and after a win against Watford, they were knocked out of the cup by Cardiff. However, they managed to win against Swansea in the previous round.
The hosts remain focused on defense. They score an average of 1.4 goals per match but concede just 0.65 goals even during their recent slump. The visitors have almost identical statistics: 0.96 goals scored, almost 1.4 conceded.
