A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: Championship
Venue: MKM Stadium
Saturday 21st February 2026, 1230hrs (GMT)
Hull City will be eager to get themselves and their play-off aspirations back on track on Saturday lunchtime when The Tigers take on QPR at the MKM Stadium having suffered recent back-to-back defeats.
Losses to Bristol City 3-2 at home in the Championship followed by a 4-0 thumping at the hands of Chelsea in the FA Cup have slowed down Hull City’s progress but nevertheless, Sergej Jakirović’s side still occupy 5th place in the table and remain in contention for a possible top six finish this season.
Hull had previously put together a promising six-match unbeaten run in all competitions which consisted of five wins and a draw, four of which were achieved in the Championship with victories over the likes of Southampton, Preston NE, Swansea City and Blackburn Rovers.
QPR now sit in a mid-table position of 13th in the Championship standings as the London club’s play-off challenge has seemingly dropped off a cliff in recent weeks having managed to capture just one win in their last seven matches overall.
That rare highlight came in the shape of a creditable 2-1 home win against Coventry City but despite beating the league leaders, defeats in the Championship at home to Wrexham and Blackburn Rovers respectively have placed The R’s four points adrift of the play-off pack.
An indifferent and disappointing away record of 4-6-6 14/22 suggests QPR could have their work cut out if they’re to get anything out of this upcoming trip to the MKM Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.
The Betting Verdict
Hull City will be keen to bounce back with a win and given QPR’s below-par results on the road, the hosts should edge this one at good odds.
The Pick :
Hull City 2-1 QPR
