Hull City - Preston North End predictions

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

The away team’s chances of winning this Monday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Hull City, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The hosts have a chance to make amends for the Swansea City defeat from the previous round. It was another home game for Hull City but it did not go the way fans had hoped for. Their team conceded early in the first half and did not get a chance to get back in the game which ended up with a single-goal deficit.

The Lilywhites stumbled and dropped a first-half lead in their previous home game against Queens Park Rangers. The 1:2 loss was a narrow one, even though they were considered slightly stronger by most experts going in.

Hull City will likely want to shake things up offensively after lukewarm results in the previous few matches. Outcome aside, both of their latest two away games ended with 1 or 0 goals in total.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over The Lilywhites’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and The Lilywhites carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Hull City as somewhat more likely to win.

This Monday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 1 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
