Sheffield United vs Hull City Prediction
Sheffield United are on course for a return to the Premier League and a win here would see them go 14 points clear of third-placed Watford pending results on Saturday.
Their quest for victory could be complicated by an in-form Hull City side that have been on a positive roll, particularly on their travels. Liam Rosenior's side will be boosted by their last-gasp equalizer against Huddersfield Town that helped them extend their six-game unbeaten run.
Sheffield United are the favorites to claim maximum points but Hull City could complicate matters for them if given the opportunity. Nevertheless, we expect the hosts to do enough to claim a narrow win.
