Preston North End vs Hull City Prediction and Betting Tips | December 26, 2024 

Preston North End host Hull City at Deepdale on Boxing Day in the Championship on Thursday. The hosts are 18th in the league table with 23 points from 22 matches.

Preston lost 2-1 to recently rejuvenated Queens Park Rangers at the weekend, heading into the break a goal up, thanks to a Milutin Osmajic strike before their opponents turned the game on its head in the second half.

Meanwhile, Hull have struggled this season, prompting the dismissal of head coach Tim Walter 18 games into his reign. Former Reading head coach Ruben Selles has been appointed as the new boss and guided the Tigers to their first win since October, beating Swansea City 2-1 last weekend.

Goals from Joao Pedro Galvao and Mason Burstow handed Hull maximum points, lifting them from rock-bottom up to 21st.

Preston are on a run of back-to-back winless outings and have won one of their last 13 games across competitions. Their last four games at Deepdale have ended in draws, though.

Hull, meanwhile, saw their latest result snap a wretched 13-game winless streak in competitive action. They have, however, lost their last four games on the road and could lose.
