Hull vs Huddersfield prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2023-11-10 15:00.
Hull missed the chance to move into the Championship play-off places last weekend, conceding twice in the space of six minutes to lose away at West Brom. Manager Liam Rosenior felt his side âgift-wrapped the gameâ to the Baggies, but heâll be confident that Hull can get back on the winning trail here, as theyâve not lost back-to-back league matches since November 2022.
That impressive record will be put to the test by Huddersfield, a side that despite their struggles, havenât been beaten by Hull since August 2015 (D2, L5). Rosenior will look to the home crowd to roar the Tigers on and end that miserable record, as theyâve lost just one of the last seven league matches at the MKM Stadium (W2, D4).
Huddersfield may be a tough nut to crack after showing their defensive resilience in a goalless draw with Watford last weekend that saw the Terriers have just 29% possession. The clean sheet was âthe biggest thingâ according to boss Darren Moore, which kept the Yorkshire outfit four points clear of the drop zone despite the fact that theyâve won just one of their last nine matches (D5, L3).
Improving on the road will be the goal for the new Terriers boss, as theyâve won just one of their seven away league matches this term (D3, L3). Huddersfield have at least scored in six of those trips, but with three of their last four away strikes coming during second-half stoppage time, the traveling faithful may have to be patient to see some action from their side.
Players to watch: Hull badly missed the creativity of Jaden Philogene in defeat against West Brom, but the 21-year-old could be fit to return here having directly contributed to ten goals in his previous nine games for club and country (G5, A5). Huddersfieldâs Wales international Sorba Thomas is undefeated across four personal H2Hs with Hull (W3, D1), with all three of those victories coming âto nilâ.
Hot stat: Five of Hullâs last seven Championship home matches were level at half-time.
