Watford LWDDLL
Watford will be hoping to bounce back here following the 1-0 Championship defeat last time out to Millwall.
In that game, Watford had 61% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 4 on target. For their opponents, Millwall got 9 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Camiel Neghli (10') was the scorer for Millwall.
It has been seldom in recent times that Watford haven’t conceded. The reality is that Watford have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 8 goals during that time. Such a trend won’t necessarily follow through here, of course.
Pre-game facts show that Watford:
- have not lost a league tie with Hull City in their previous 4 matches.
- are without a win at home for the past 2 matches in the league.
Hull City DWLLDW ⚖
Hull City come into this game following on from a 3-1 Championship win with the eclipse of Southampton in their most recent game.
In that game, Hull City had 30% possession and 11 shots at goal with 4 on target. For Hull City, goals were scored by Kyle Joseph (22'), John Lundstram (59') and Oli McBurnie (70'). At the other end, Southampton had 14 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Adam Armstrong (95') was the scorer for Southampton.
Demonstrating their fondness for high-scoring matches, goals have been scored 28 times in the previous six games in which Hull City have played, giving a mean average of 4.67 goals for each clash. Opposition teams have managed 15 of those goals.
Their past results show that Hull City:
- have not beaten Watford in away games against them for the last 4 league games. Not good at all.
- are without an away win for the past 6 league games.

🗞️ Team News: Watford
Jeremy Ngakia (Groin problems), Pierre Dwomoh (Thigh problems) and Giorgi Chakvetadze (Finger injury) are not available for Watford manager Paulo Pezzolano.
It’s our opinion that The Hornets should use the 4-4-2 system for the game and select Jamie Cumming, Brodie Spencer, Michal Helik, Sam Long, Jack Currie, Przemyslaw Placheta, B. De Keersmaecker, Cameron Brannagan, Filip Krastev, Nik Prelec and Will Lankshear.
📰 Team News: Hull City
We’re of the thinking that The Tigers will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Michael Cooper, Ben Godfrey, Mark McGuinness, Japhet Tanganga, Harrison Burrows, Sydie Peck, Alex Matos, Chiedozie Ogbene, Callum O'Hare, Gustavo Hamer and Tyrese Campbell.
🧠 Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Hull City may find it difficult to breach the defence of this Watford side who will likely be able to grind out a win.
We’re therefore expecting a narrow 1-0 advantage for Watford at the conclusion of the game.
Should be a close one.
