Hull City vs Portsmouth Predictions

Tigers Backed to Tame Portsmouth at the MKM

Take Hull to beat Portsmouth at the MKM Stadium on Saturday. The visitors have not been great going forward this season and Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic will be confident that his team can get the win.

They are eighth in the Championship, 12 places and eight points above Portsmouth, with six wins from their 14 games this season. The visitors have three wins so far.

It would be a surprise if Hull failed to score. They have been prolific at home against bottom-half teams this season, averaging almost two goals a game in their seven matches.
Hull have scored two goals or more in eight of their 14 Championship games overall.

They have lost just one of their last seven home games in the Championship.

The visitors’ defence has been far from watertight lately. Portsmouth have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last nine Championship games and are on a run of three away days without shutting out the opposition.

The visitors are enduring a rough spell. Portsmouth have lost three of their last four Championship games and have not won any of their last five away matches.

It has been four Championship meetings since the last time a game between this pair produced three goals or more, and Hull have won four of their six league games this season by a single goal. With that in mind, a 1-0 home win looks the correct score to back.
