Sheffield United vs Hull City Prediction, Lineups and Odds: Tonight's 9/2 goalscorer fancy

The action is about to get underway in Yorkshire as Sheffield United prepare to host Hull City at Bramall Lane in the Championship, with kick-off at 8pm, live on Sky Sports Main Event.

Read on for our best bets, as in-form Sheffield United look to go top of the table.

Since suffering back-to-back defeats in October, Sheffield United have been in imperious form, winning 12 and drawing three of their last 17 Championship matches, while they head into tonight's clash off the back of a three-game winning streak over Watford, Norwich, and Swansea.

At Bramall Lane, the Blades have been formidable, boasting 10 wins and two draws from 13 home games - a record second only to league leaders Leeds. Unsurprisingly, they head into tonight's clash as odds-on favourites against Hull City, who remain mired in the relegation zone.

For added value, I recommend backing a Sheffield United win combined with under four match goals, available at 13/10 with bet365, who are offering new customers £50 in free bets.

This bet has delivered in each of Sheffield United's last three league victories and in all 18 of their Championship wins this season. Notably, only two of their 28 matches have featured four or more goals this campaign, while they've conceded just five goals on home soil.

17 of Hull's last 20 matches have seen under four goals, further supporting the case for this opening bet at Bramall Lane. While performances have improved under new boss Ruben Selles, it's a tough ask to see the Tigers coming away with anything tonight, given the form of the hosts, who have the added incentive of going top of the table.

I'm backing Harrison Burrows to continue his hot streak tonight, with an enticing price of 9/2 to score anytime with bet365.

Burrows is in excellent form, finding the net three times in his last two Championship outings. The 23-year-old struck twice in the 2-0 victory over Norwich and followed up with the winning goal in Tuesday's 2-1 triumph at Swansea.

Adding to his appeal, Burrows is on penalty duty, with two of his recent goals coming from the spot. With his current scoring run and responsibility from 12 yards, he offers great value for another goal tonight.

Sheffield United vs Hull City Lineups

Gustavo Hamer is a big loss for the hosts after he picked up his tenth yellow card of the season. Oliver Arblaster, Jamie Shackleton, Kieffer Moore, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, and Tom Davies are also out, but the returning Ben Brereton Diaz could be in line to start.

Hull City are without a whole host of regulars, including the likes of Lewie Coyle, Kasey Palmer, Dogukan Sinik, Liam Millar, Harvey Cartwright, Charlie Hughes, Oscar Zambrano, and Bachir Belloumi.
