Bristol City vs Hull Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 20/12/2023, 14:45  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

Hull City travel to Bristol with an eye on staying in the Championship playoff places. This matchday 23 will be played at the Ashton Gate Stadium on Friday with the hosts 14th on 29 points and the visitors 6th on 36 points ahead of this round. Bristol City have a nine-point gap over the bottom-three which is exactly the same gap they have with the top-six clubs. Yet, their recent form suggests they are unlikely to make a dash towards the playoff places. Bristol City have lost three of their last five league games, drawing and winning one each. That win came in their most recent match though and should give some confidence. Moreover, the Robins have won three of their last four home league matches and should pose a threat to the visitors.

Hull have a three-point lead over seventh-placed Sunderland ahead of this round, while being separated from West Brom by only goal difference. They will be keen to keep their charge going, which means losing here would be catastrophic. The return fixture in August ended in a 1-1 draw and the Tigers will hope they can better that result this time. They have won their last two league games, which has got them back on track after consecutive losses to Watford and QPR. It is their away form that needs to be improved, as Hull have won just two of their last seven away league games, losing three and drawing two.
