Hull vs Derby Analysis
Hull
Hull made the most of two second-half penalty kicks to beat Preston on Monday and moved two points clear of the drop zone near the busy lower end of the Championship table.
City have been harnessing home advantage to power their survival push and have now lost only once in five games at The MKM Stadium, claiming ten points from the last 15 on offer at that venue.
A win over relegation rivals Derby would allow Hull to take a giant step towards safety and the hosts have been priced as favourites on sites for sports betting to secure the result they crave.
Team news: Louie Barry, Mohamed Belloumi, Eliot Matazo and Liam Millar are all sidelined through injury for Hull.
Predicted Lineup: Pandur, Coyle, Egan, Hughes, McLoughlin, Alzate, Slater, Kamara, Gelhardt, Amrabat, Joseph
Derby
Derby (21st) are just one place and two points behind Hull (20th) in the Championship standings ahead of Saturday’s crucial encounters between the clubs.
The Rams enjoyed an odds-defying 3-1 win at West Brom on Monday to snap a four-game winless run, though County’s overall performances have been markedly improved since the appointment of John Eustace.
Eustace has masterminded four wins in Derby’s last nine fixtures, so it’s a little surprising to see Derby priced as underdogs on England Championship betting ahead of Saturday’s test at Hull.
Team news: Derby could be without up to ten players on Saturday, including Callum Elder, Jacob Widell Zetterstrom and Curtis Nelson.
Predicted Lineup: Vickers, Langas, Phillips, Clarke, Wilson, Thompson, Armstrong, Adams, Forsyth, Yates, Harness
Hull vs Derby Stats and Trends
- Derby have won five of their last nine games in the Championship.
- Three of Hull’s last four home matches in the league have featured goals at both ends.
- Jerry Yates has scored three goals in his last five appearances for Derby.
- Five players were carded when Derby and Hull last met back in October.
Hull vs Derby Prediction
Hull beat Preston in their last assignment, however, they needed two penalties to secure maximum points on that occasion and City are unlikely to be quite as fortunate this time around. Derby have lost only one of their last four games on the road and like Hull, they will be determined to avoid defeat in what could prove a pivotal skirmish in this season’s relegation battle. A share of the spoils could be the likeliest outcome here.
Prediction: Draw – 2/1 (+200) – Fitzdares
Hull vs Derby – The Ultimate Bet:
Derby double chance – 8/15 (-188)
Derby have made noticeably positive strides under the direction of new boss John Eustace and they have lost only two of their last nine games in the Championship and only one of their last four matches on the road.
Hull meanwhile, have failed to win three of their last four fixtures and City have scored just once from open play in their last three home games combined.
Derby seem to have the edge in terms of momentum here and should be confident following their superb 3-1 win over WBA on Monday and the Rams look like a solid option in the double chance market ahead of their visit to The MKM Stadium.
