Hull will look to keep pushing the Championship top two when they play playoff chasers Watford in a rescheduled matchday 26 on Tuesday. This match at the MKM Stadium between the third-placed Tigers and the tenth-placed Hornets comes with our prediction of a home win.
With 53 points from their 29 matches (W16, D5, L8), Hull are five points behind the top two, having played one game less. Watford’s 43 points from their 29 matches (W11, D10, L8) saw them finish last weekend four points outside the playoff places and with a game in hand.
A 1-0 away win at Blackburn last weekend continued Hull’s recent resurgence. They have now won eight of their last ten Championship matches (D1, L1), including four victories in a row.
The improvement in form has seen even their home form surge with three wins from their last four league matches played here (L1).
Watford were beaten 2-0 at home by Swansea last weekend to make it five games without a win in all competitions (D2, L3). One of those defeats came in the FA Cup, while the winless run in the league was preceded by a sequence of four consecutive victories.
The Hornets can be a handful on the road, as their record since last November suggests (W3, D3, L1), with the lone defeat coming at Birmingham.
