Hull City vs Cardiff City Betting Tips

Hull are trying to keep up the pressure on the top two and if anyone other than Middlesbrough and Derby is going to go up automatically this season, it is most likely to be Hull. The Tigers are only a point behind 2nd placed Derby after their win at QPR on New Year’s Day.

They were also winners in the FA Cup at home to Brighton on Saturday and their overall record at the KC Stadium this season has been excellent. They have won their last 4 home matches and have only been defeated once in 16 matches at the ground this season and will be confident of another 3 points against Cardiff here.

The Bluebirds are in 9th place and are only 4 points off the play-off places but they are not playing the sort of football that suggests they are going to be good enough to seal a return to the top flight. They’ve only won one of their last 5 matches and were sent packing from the FA Cup by lower league Shrewsbury this weekend so Russell Slade’s men aren’t approaching this high on confidence.

They’ve only won 1 of their last 9 on the road and that was against bottom club Bolton and they have lost 4 of their last 5 Championship away games. Against a Hull side that are very strong on home turf, it’s hard to look past the Tigers here and you can back Hull to win at 4/6.

Hull have already won 10 home games without conceding this season and this should be relatively routine too so consider backing this to end in a 2-0 Hull City win at odds of 6/1.
