Hull City - Middlesbrough predictions

Hull City are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Middlesbrough. The odds of 2.29 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Hull City on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

The hosts faced off against Cardiff City in the previous round, which was a relatively favourable matchup considering they also played away. Most bookmakers online expected the game to be relatively close, but we instead saw complete domination by Hull City, who were leading throughout the game and ended on a decisive 1:3 score.

With 4.39 odds to win and home-field advantage, Middlesbrough were clearly likely to win their previous Championship match before kick-off. The game went about as expected – they took an early lead and kept at it until they eventually won 2:0.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Hull City have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Middlesbrough’s record shows zero concessions over their previous three home games. As such, Away winning to Nill seems like a solid option to consider.

Hull City clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with The Boro, but it was a rather narrow victory.

This Wednesday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 2.05.
