Hull v Sheffield United Bet Builder Tips
The Championship returns on Friday evening, with Sheffield United making the trip across Yorkshire to face Hull at the MKM Stadium.
The Tigers narrowly missed out on play-off football last season, but look a shadow of their former selves, having failed to win any of their opening four games. The Blades, meanwhile, have got off to an indifferent start, unbeaten but with only two wins from four as they aim for an immediate return to the Premier League.

Level 1 Bet Builder Tip
π Hull to commit 10+ fouls
π Odds: 1.30
Hull have hit this number of fouls or more in all of their matches so far this season. Going back into last season they have hit his mark in nine of their last 10 matches.
Their average over their last 30 matches in all competitions is 11 fouls per match.
As a Yorkshire derby, this game does carry some extra weight, for the home crowd at least. They have played two other Yorkshire clubs so far this season, committing 15 fouls against Leeds and 13 against Sheffield Wednesday in the Carabao Cup.
π Gustavo Hamer to commit 1+ fouls
π Odds: 1.20
Hamer is a player that likes to be involved in the match as often as possible, on and off the ball. He has committed six fouls so far in the four Championship matches this season.
Hamer is averaging 1.44 fouls per 90 this season, that goes up to 1.63 per 90 when including all of Sheffield Unitedβs last 30 matches. This includes a run of eight consecutive matches in which Hamer fouled whilst the Blades were in the Premier League.
π Sheffield United double chance
π Odds: 1.30
The Blades rank in the top six for xG against, whilst Hull are bottom six for xG. Hull will therefore likely struggle to score here.
The Tigers have had two home games this season, managing only draws against Bristol City and Millwall. Meanwhile, Sheffield United have already won at Preston, very comfortably, and drawn at Norwich, a much more difficult game on paper.
π Callum O’Hare to commit 1+ fouls
π Odds: 1.40
O’Hare has the ability and desire to press the ball in the opponentsβ territory, and has committed at least one foul in every match he has played for Sheff United.
He is averaging 1.63 fouls per 90 so far this season, and has played at least 70 minutes in every match under Chris Wilder, so should have plenty of time to make at least one foul here.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip
π― Gustavo Hamer to have 1+ shots on target
π Odds: 2.0
Hamer has taken the most shots and registered the most shots on target out of anyone at Sheff Utd or Hull City this season.
He is averaging 4.31 shots per 90 in all competitions, which has translated into 1.91 shots on target per 90 in all competitions.
The Blades midfielder has had a shot on target in every Championship match he has played so far this season, with five on target in total.
π Vinicius Souza to commit 2+ fouls
π Odds: 1.73
Souza has cashed this line in three out of four of his Championship matches this season.
Has committed 11 fouls in four matches, averaging 2.75 per 90, and has yet to be substituted in a Championship match by Chris Wilder, so should see a full 90 minutes here.
π Liam Millar to commit 1+ fouls
π Odds: 1.80
Millar offers excellent value for a single foul here. He has committed six fouls in his last three matches, and is averaging 1.74 fouls per 90 in all competitions for Hull.
He has committed three fouls in his last match alone, versus Leeds, and will be playing most, if not, all of the 90 minutes here, so has plenty of time to commit at least one foul.
π Lewie Coyle to commit 1+ fouls
π Odds: 1.57
Coyle has committed at least one foul in every match so far this season, including two fouls last time out against Leeds.
He will be matched up against Harrison Burrows, who has averaged 1.51 fouls against him per 90 minutes since signing for Sheffield United.
It’s likely that he will also face the dribbling challenge of Callum OβHare and Gustavo Hamer who will drift into his area, both of whom average over 1.0 fouls drawn per 90 this season.
