Hull City will welcome Watford at the MKM Stadium for a Championship game, looking to bounce back from defeat. Going into this game, Hull are fifth in the league standings, a place behind Watford. Let’s have a look at the match prediction here.
Hull City will have a second straight home game and a chance to rise from their 1-0 loss to Stoke City. Their eighth loss of the season has left a big dent in their automatic promotion ambitions.
Being just two points ahead of the eighth-placed team means the Tigers can’t afford another slipup. Three of their four home losses came within the last five games, and Hull will want to be cautious here.
Watford will relish meeting Hull City in their current home form. The Hornets have been in fine form, and they started the year on a winning note.
They thrashed Birmingham 3-0 to break into the top six, and they won’t want to rest just yet. Ahead of them, second-placed Ipswich Town are just three points away, though with a much superior goal difference.
That comfortable win also handed Watford their third clean sheet in four matches, having claimed four straight wins and a seven-game unbeaten run. It was sweet revenge against the only team to have beaten them across the last 13 matches.
