Hull vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips & Predictions

Hull seem to have caught a case of the promotion jitters as we head into the real business end of the season. They are by no means the only side with that problem but a worrying 4 game winless streak needs to end soon if they are remain among the automatic promotion favourites. A 1-1 draw at home to MK Dons was not what they needed at the weekend and they had failed to score in their previous 3 matches although they were considerably tougher. They’ve not won any of their last 4 matches at the KC Stadium in all competitions but have only lost 1 of their last 20 home matches in this division.

Nottingham Forest’s season is heading for an uninspiring end it would seem. They sank to a disappointing 3-0 home defeat against Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend. They have now lost 5 of their last 6 games and their goalscoring troubles are even more severe than Hull’s. Forest have scored only 4 goals in their last 10 matches in league and cup and have the 2nd worst goalscoring record in the entire division.

Away from home against the side with the best defensive record in the league it is hard to see Nottingham Forest getting much joy in front of goal here. 6 of their last 10 matches have finished with 1-0 scorelines and 4 of Hull’s last 8 games have also ended up 1-0. With home advantage and a bit more quality, the Tigers are certainly the more likely winners and they might just nick what would be a crucial 3 points. Therefore consider backing Hull to win 1-0 at 4/1.
