Hull v Bristol City

Hull City vs Bristol City Preview

The Friday night fixture in the Championship features this upcoming clash between Hull City and Bristol City at the MKM Stadium where the hosts will be searching to register a third league win on the trot while Bristol City will be eager to bounce back with a positive result here following defeat last Saturday.

Looking at Hull City first and The Tigers started their campaign with a disappointing 2-1 defeat away from home at Norwich City on the opening day of the season, especially as they took a 1-0 lead after Liam Delap put The Tigers in front.

However, a 2-1 defeat unfolded at Carrow Road but Hull City quickly responded in positive fashion by recording back-to-back wins against newly promoted Sheffield Wednesday with a 4-2 win at home followed by a 2-1 win on the road at Ewood Park against Blackburn Rovers.

League wins in the Championship have been sporadic though rather than consistent as Hull have registered just four wins from their last 14 matches in the second tier while also being handed three defeats and being involved in no fewer than seven draws as well.

Goals could be scarce too as eight of Hull City's last 14 games have also resulted in under 2.5 goals.

Bristol City's solid start to the new Championship season was undone by Birmingham City last Saturday as The Blues recorded a 2-0 win away from home at Ashton Gate to hand The Robins their first league defeat of the season.

Bristol City had previously picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Preston NE on the opening day of the season and then followed that up with a creditable 1-0 win at The Den against Millwall who are not often beaten on home soil.

Bristol City will now hit the road for this Friday night game at the MKM Stadium looking to produce a better showing this time around but the visitors may have to work extremely hard to get anything out of Hull City at home especially as The Robins have managed to collect just three wins from their previous 10 outings on their travels.

Victories at Stoke City, QPR and Millwall have been outweighed by five defeats within this period and suggests the goals market may be a more prudent choice here, especially as nine of Bristol City's last 10 away games have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Hull City v Bristol City Verdict Both Hull City and Bristol City have been involved in a number of low-scoring encounters in recent times in the Championship and another war of attrition could unfold at the MKM Stadium on Friday night with perhaps only a goal or two separating the two sides.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 1.80

Other side bets worth considering:

Bristol City win @ 3.10

Correct score: Bristol City 2-0 @ 15.00
