Betting on Hull City
Due to their inability to score, Hull City has dropped significantly in the standings. They have gone six games without a victory and only managed to score three goals while giving up seven. Despite having a strong start to the season, Liam Rosenior’s squad has trouble getting going.
The problem is that they lose the ball too easily in midfield. Their main signing, Jean Michaël Seri, who was once to be called the new N’golo Kanté has not worked as well as they thought he would, and Hull City’s midfield generates absolutely nothing.
A glimmer of hope lies in the forward line with Colombian Óscar Estupiñán, who has already scored eight goals and is trying to increase his quota in every game, but is sometimes very isolated from the team because he plays as a single striker and does not get enough balls. With 8 games without being able to score, obviously Hull City has even failed to win in the interclub matches.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Matt Ingram, Lewie Coyle, Cyrus Christie, Sean McLoughlin, Jacob Greaves; Ryan Woods, Jean Michel Seri, Tyler Smith, Regan Slater, Ryan Longman, Oscar Estupiñan
Betting on Blackpool
Blackpool, another team near the bottom of the standings, has gone five games without a victory. They only have two draws, compared to Hull City’s three, while the rest are losses. They are already in the dreaded red zone of the standings after failing to score any points.
They have only two goals scored in this winless streak. Michael Appleton has moved the team from a 4-3-3 to a more conservative 4-4-2 and so far it has worked decently: they didn’t lose their last game against Cardiff.
They have played 12 away games and have only been able to win two. Blackpool urgently needs to start getting points; if they don’t, the coach’s job, who is leaving them very close to the abyss, is in danger. Worst of all, their rivals are starting to take off.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Daniel Grimshaw, Callum Connolly, Rhys Williams, James Husband, Luke Garbutt, Jerry Yates, Charlie Patino, Kenny Dougall, Shayne Lavery, Sonny Carey, Gary Madine
JefeBet Prediction
These teams already met on matchday 16 and Blackpool won 3-1 at Bloomfield Road. In this way, this would be a perfect opportunity for Hull City to cash in on this defeat and take a further step forward. They are two points behind, so a win would put them within 5 points, with a cushion over the red zone.
We believe that Hull City will take the points and finally open the scoring can that was closed to them several games ago.
Prediction: Hull City 2-0 Blackpool
