Hull City - Barnsley betting tips and odds

Hull City should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Barnsley can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

At 4.20 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Barnsley are well aware of it themselves.

Hull City thought they could pull off a major surprise in the last Championship round. They were leading at the halftime of a very difficult trip but could not hold onto the lead for the full 90 minutes and had to settle for a Queens Park Rangers daw.

Although The Tykes lost their previous away game 1:0, it’s hard to call the outcome a disappointment. Considering the 7.00 odds top online bookmakers gave them to beat Coventry City, even the draw on half-time is a minor success.

Whenever we see a match at KCOM Stadium it seems to be a good chance for Under 5 Goals bets. The way Hull City have been playing is the main culprit here – their two previous home games ended with barely any goals in total.

Our confidence that Barnsley will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.98 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Hull City won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Unibet priced at 1.78 odds.
