Hull City - Birmingham City predictions and free betting tips [05/03/2024]

Playoff contenders Hull City will host Birmingham City, a team currently facing a relegation threat. On Saturday, the 'Tigers' drew with Preston North End while the 'Blues' put up a great show against Southampton, but suffered a last-minute loss, resulting in a 4-3 final score.

Hull City

A victory over Preston could have been their fifth consecutive win for the first time since 1966, but the match only brought Liam Rosenior's men a single point. Hull City is at the edge of the playoff zone, thus any mistake could cost dearly. Norwich and Preston are hot on their heels. Ozan Tufan is likely to replace Regan Slater in the midfield.

Birmingham City

The 'Blues' are in a complicated situation since their loss to Southampton and victories by their main competitors. Four teams are now tied on 38 points, and another four teams are just a win away. However, Birmingham has a game in hand, increasing their chances for recovery. Dion Sanderson will be absent from this match due to his red card in the game against the 'Saints'.

Hull City - Birmingham match prediction

Since Fabio Carvalho's arrival at Hull, the team has undergone a significant transformation and the results have started to come. The 'Tigers' have become serious playoff contenders. On the other hand, Birmingham's performances have been scattered with no sight of consistency. A home victory is the most logical outcome.
