Hull City vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction and Betting Tips | 7th December, 2024

Hull City take on Blackburn Rovers in the 19th round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. The two sides are in opposite halves of the points table.

Hull are coming off a 3-1 defeat at Middlesbrough in their previous league outing. Boro opened the scoring in the 24th minute through Finn Izaac Azaz before Tommy Conway doubled their advantage four minutes before the break.

The Tigers pulled one back through Mason Burstow 20 minutes from time, but Conway's second of the night nine minutes later restored Boro's two-goal lead. Their fifth straight defeat keeps the Tigers in the relegation zone, in 22nd place, with 15 points from 18 games, winning thrice.

Meanwhile, John Eustace's Blackburn are fresh off a 1-0 upset win at home against Leeds United. Todd Cantwell's 22nd-minute penalty proved to be the difference between the two sides as the Whites were knocked off their perch.

The win - their third straight - took the Rovers to eighth in the points table, with 28 points from 17 games, winning eight.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Hull-Blackburn Championship clash at the MKM Stadium.

Hull City vs Blackburn Rovers prediction

The two sides have had contrasting campaigns. While the Rovers are within touching distance of a playoff place - two points off sixth-placed Watford - Hull are languishing in the relegation zone, two points from safety.

Although the Rovers have dominated their head-to-head with Hull, the Tigers have fared better in their last few clashes. However, considering their recent record - winless in 10 games - losing seven (including the last five), anything but a Rovers win would be a surprise.

Prediction: Hull City 0-2 Blackburn Rovers
