Hull City - Middlesbrough predictions

Though Hull City definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Middlesbrough are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

The match is most likely to go in the away team’s favour, though it’s by no means a sure thing. With 2.16 betting odds to win, Middlesbrough have the upper hand going in, but all three possible outcomes are possible.

Having gone level after the first 45 minutes of their last Championship match, Hull City pushed their game up a notch after the break and managed to get a hold of a Blackburn Rovers victory which will be a huge boost for the Wednesday clash.

Middlesbrough’s home performance against Burnley in the previous round wasn’t spectacular, ending in a 0:0 stalemate. Neither side managed to pull ahead, but Middlesbrough can be happier with this outcome considering the balance of power wasn’t in their favour.

The previous two Championship matches Hull City participated in ended with minimal goals on the board for either team – 1 or none, to be exact. This displays a form of consistency which can be valuable for betting markets like Under 5 Goals.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Middlesbrough's backline has much to be wished for

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, The Boro already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

Doğukan Sinik, Marvin Mehlem, Charlie Hughes will not be able to play for the hosts this Wednesday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.99. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
