Hull City vs Derby County prediction

Following defeat in their last two games and three goals conceded on both occasions, Hull City need to tighten up defensively for the visit of Derby County. However, they need to balance that with the importance of picking up three points to keep themselves comfortably cushioned inside the Championship’s top six.

Derby last’s two have seen under 2.5 goals scored and as the visiting side it would be no surprise to see them play a little more conservatively in this one. With Hull City aware of their recent struggles at the back, you’d expect them to focus on improving in that area here. With that in mind, consider backing under 2.5 goals scored between these two.

Hull City vs Derby County tip: Under 2.5 goals
