Watford to Win

Reason for tip

Watford look the stronger option away at Hull City in this EFL Championship clash. Hull’s home defending has been a clear weakness, conceding 19 goals in 13 matches, and that leaves them exposed against a Watford side in excellent rhythm. The Hornets are unbeaten in seven league games, have scored in 15 straight matches, and tend to capitalise once they get their noses in front. Their recent head-to-head record against Hull also points towards the visitors having the edge.

Watford 2-0

Reason for tip

A controlled away performance from Watford feels likely. They come off the back of a convincing 3-0 win over Birmingham and have been reliable at shutting games down when leading. Hull’s defensive record at home suggests they will give up chances, while Watford’s consistency in front of goal should tell over 90 minutes. Seven of the last nine Championship meetings between these sides went under 2.5 goals, so a fairly measured contest is expected, with Watford’s extra quality producing a professional 2-0 away win.

Watford Can Outmuscle Hull on the Road

Watford are the best bet to win at Hull in the Championship on Sunday. The hosts have struggled defensively this season and Watford can take advantage.

The two sides are level on points, with Watford one place above Hull in the table. Both teams have won more games than they’ve lost this season, with Hull sitting fifth with 12 wins and Watford fourth with 11.

Watford kept up their recent winning trend with a 3-0 victory over Birmingham on Thursday. They have won ten of the 13 games in which they’ve scored first this season (77%).

Watford are in good form, having gone unbeaten in their last seven Championship games and losing just one of their last six away matches. They have also lost just one of their last eight meetings with Hull in the league.

Hull’s struggles in defence are evident this season. The hosts have conceded 19 goals at home in the Championship – an average of 1.46 goals per game from their 13 matches.

The visitors will be hoping to continue their scoring form. Watford have found the net in 18 of their last 19 league games, including a 3-0 win over Birmingham on Thursday. They have now scored in 15 consecutive matches.

A 2-0 win for Watford looks a decent correct-score option. The last Championship head-to-head between these two teams produced three goals but seven of the previous nine went under 2.5 goals.
