6th placed Hull City have emerged as one of this season’s surprise packages in the Championship under Bosnia-Herzogovina manager Sergej Jakirović as The Tigers have been transformed from relegation candidates to possible play-off material in the Championship.
Wins and losses have come in equal measure though in recent times for Hull City as the hosts have picked up four wins while also being dealt four defeats in their last eight league matches, thus suggesting the straight win market should be avoided this weekend.
However, the goals market looks promising as 7 out of Hull City’s 11 home games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored and Hull City themselves have plundered a total of 36 goals so far in this season’s Championship campaign, second only to the league leaders, Coventry City.
West Brom managed to bounce back with a 2-0 home win against a rejuvenated Sheffield United outfit but this much-needed victory may only serve to buy manager Ryan Mason a bit more time at the helm of The Baggies as the west midlands occupy a very disappointing 16th place in the table.
With just three wins out of their last 11 matches overall, time appears to be running out for Mason whose side have registered these wins against Oxford United, Swansea City and aforementioned Sheffield United, all of which were at home.
However, a poor away record of 3-0-8 12/20 includes possessing the worst defensive record away from home in the Championship and this does not bode well for this upcoming trip to Humberside to take on a free-scoring Hull City outfit at the MKM Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Betting Verdict
Hull City look to hold the edge in this clash but goals look the more likely outcome here.
The Pick :
Hull City 2-1 West Brom
