Match Preview – 19:45 Kick-Off at the KCOM Stadium, London

18th placed Hull City welcome 19th placed Middlesbrough to the KCOM Stadium in a massive Premier League relegation head-to-head on Wednesday night. Middlesbrough trail their opponents by 4 points going into the fixture, but they do still have a decisive game in hand. Hull City are just a point from safety as things stand.

Middlesbrough haven’t won a league game since December, losing 7 and drawing 5 of their games since then. With only 20 goals in 29 league games, it’s easy to see where their problems originate from – they have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 league games.

Hull City have won 2 of their last 3 securing 6 vital points at a crucial juncture in the season. 4 of their 7 Premier League wins this season have come since January 14th – it looks as though the Tigers are ready to fight to the death to secure their place in the top flight. Middlesbrough beat Hull City 1-0 in the reverse fixture in the first week of December. Read below to see our prediction for this game and our Hull City v Middlesbrough betting tips.

Hull City v Middlesbrough Predictions

Middlesbrough just can’t buy a goal at the moment and Hull City have scored in 5 of their last 7 games despite losing 3 of those. I fancy Hull to score on Wednesday which means they will probably win the game and 3 critical points. Home win…..but only just.

Ladbrokes give Hull City odds of 21/10 which are worth taking as a standalone bet. They give Middlesbrough odds of 14/5 to win at the KCOM Stadium which you should avoid. Bet365 have odds of 6/1 for the game to finish 1-0 to Hull City and although exact scoreline bets are a tricky market, this still looks worth a bet.
