Middlesbrough vs Hull City

, KO: 12:30 Nov 30, 2024, Riverside Stadium
Hull City

Middlesbrough and Hull often produce action-packed fixtures but the teams appear to be on different levels right now. Can the Tigers survive the Boro?

Middlesbrough's most recent mistake against Blackburn put them in a dangerous position. Their position in the Top 6 is at risk and only the three points would be good enough. The main concern is the team's inconsistent home form as of late. Boro haven't won two home games in a row this season, which is not good enough.

Fortunately, they will face one of the struggling teams in the league. While Hull City have often caused them serious problems, their current form suggests a different outcome. The Tigers recorded their fourth defeat in a row mid-week, which was also part of a nine-game stream without a win in the Championship.

Hull's last win dates back to the start of October and since then, the team has scored only four goals in official games.

How the bookies view it: An easy home win?

Middlesbrough are one of the big favourites in the upcoming Championship round, with Kwiff pricing them at 9/17 to win. The visitors are available on 5/1 and the draw is currently on 23/7.

Recent head to head: You can't set them apart

The last few encounters were extremely entertaining and fun to watch. The teams have both been regulars in the Championship and met twice every season since 2017. Interestingly, both sides won three each in the last ten H2Hs. But overall, each team has had its good seasons and bad seasons.

Players to watch: Lath is on fire

Emmanuel Latte Lath has finally found his form after a surprisingly slow start. He barely had two goals at the start of November. After the last four fixtures, he now has seven goals in the Championship.

The striker scored in three games in a row, one against Middlesbrough, one against Luton, and a hat-trick in the recent 6-2 over Oxford United. It is worth mentioning that he scored the only goal for Middlesbrough against Hull in the same fixture last season.

Probable line-ups

Middlesbrough: Brynn, Borges, Edmundson, Clarke, Ayling, Barlaser, Howson, Hamilton, Conway, Doak, Latch

Hull: Pandur, Coyle, Jones, Hughes, Drameh, Palmer, Puerta, Mehlem, Omur, Pedro, Giles

Anything else catch the eye?

This is a complicated fixture for multiple reasons. When you look at Hull City's recent performances, there is no reason to expect goals from their side. When you look at Middlesbrough's recent games (let's leave the 0-1 to Blackburn out), they scored 15 goals in the previous three fixtures. Each time, they faced a team from the bottom half.

In fact, the five games before the most recent one all ended with over 2.5 goals and this feels like the safest bet for us too. The last four H2Hs also ended with at least three goals each, and we also had BTTS in them too. We back Middlesbrough to win but expect Hull to find the goal somehow. They scored in nine out of their last 10 games against Middlesbrough.

This match between Middlesbrough and Hull City will be played on Nov 30, 2024 and kick off at 12:30. Check below for our tipsters best Middlesbrough vs Hull City prediction. You may also visit our dedicated betting previews section for the most up to date previews.
