Hull vs QPR prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2023-01-27 15:00.
With no sign of significant expenditure this month, the January transfer window has contrasted much with Hull City’s summer splurge under the new ownership of Acun Medya. By deduction then, the Tigers are likely content to have what they hold, having emerged as one of the Championship’s draw specialists following their month-long break (W2, D4, L1).
The sole loss in that run was a 1-0 reverse to hot promotion favourites Sheffield United last time out. Although Hull fought valiantly and avoided a landslide after conceding in only the fourth minute, the Tigers’ chances of success here appear slim, when considering their last win over a side starting the gameweek above them in the table dates back to August 27.
Queens Park Rangers have also struggled to find a winning edge of late, after a third successive Championship stalemate (1-1 vs Swansea) in the previous round kept them in the bottom half. A first win since December 17 may rely on them starting well, but there can be no guarantees, with QPR failing to win in the last three games across all competitions when netting the opener (D2, L1).
That said, it’s a different story on hostile turf, with QPR winning in each of the previous six away league games where they’ve drawn first blood. The R’s have never wanted for goals here lately either, scoring multiple times in their previous three trips to the MKM Stadium (W2, D1), coincidentally netting exactly twice beyond the hour mark in each of them as well!
Players to watch: Óscar Estupiñán has netted after the 75th minute in each of Hull’s previous four games not to end in defeat (W2, D2). Tyler Roberts also showed his love for a late show when netting a brace at Reading (66’, 80’) on QPR’s latest road trip, marking the second time they’ve recovered away points from 2-0 down this season.
Hot streak: None of the last nine H2Hs have seen a goalless first half.
