Matchday 43 in the EFL Championship sees Hull City clash with Birmingham City at MKM Stadium. Hull are in sixth place in the league standings, while Birmingham are 15th. Here's our match prediction.
Hull's main priority as the 2025-26 EFL season slowly comes to an end is to secure a top-six finish. That would guarantee them a spot in the promotion playoffs. Currently, they've maintained a four-point cushion over seventh-placed Wrexham.
Sergej Jakirovic's men have been unfortunate in recent weeks. Heading into this clash, they are winless in three league games, recording two draws and a solitary loss.
Their most recent seatback came at the hands of Sheffield United, dropping all three points in a 2-1 road defeat. A return to winning ways could be impossible to achieve, considering the Tigers' poor home form, which has seen them win just two of their last eight games.
Birmingham are still mathematically in the race to clinch a promotion playoff spot. However, with just four games remaining, their chances of doing so are slim. The best they can do is secure a top-half finish in the standings.
The Blues' recent match was against Wrexham. Thanks to second-half goals from Carlos Vicente and Christoph Klarer, they walked away with three points in a comfortable 2-0 home victory.
That triumph couldn't have come at a better time, considering they were on a four-match winless run, including three consecutive defeats.

Our Hull vs Birmingham Prediction
On paper, this could turn out to be a closely contested affair between Hull City and Birmingham City. However, the former are in much better form, but because of their floundering performance, they cannot be fully trusted.
Hull have suffered just one defeat in their last ten home meetings against this opponent (W7, D2) and have drawn their last two matches 1-1. To be on the safe side, a pick on the draw no bet sounds appealing. Our Hull City vs Birmingham City prediction: Hull City draw no bet.
