Hull City 1/1 to beat Nottingham Forest in Thursday’s Championship matchup
Competition: Championship
Market: Hull City win
Odds: 1/1 @ Bet 365
Looking to extend on their impressive run of form on home soil, Hull City will host fellow play-off hopefuls Nottingham, Forest on Boxing Day afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, making a return to winning ways last weekend, Hull have continued to shine while at the KCOM. In their 23 Championship matches this season, they have recorded nine wins, six draws, and eight defeats, scoring 37 and conceding 31 in return. With a points tally of 33, the Tigers open the Boxing Day fixtures in 11th and are sat four points adrift of climbing into the top-six. As for their recent run of results, losing just one of their last four Championship matchups, it should also be noted that Thursday’s hosts have won their last three consecutive matches on home soil.
As for the visitors, despite their bright start to the season, Nottingham Forest have since begun to show some worrying signs of inconsistency. In their 22 Championship matches this season, they have recorded nine wins, seven draws, and six defeats, scoring 28 and conceding 23 in return. With a points tally of 34, the Reds currently sit three points adrift of the play-off positions. As for their recent run of results, hit with back-to-back defeats, it should also be noted that Forest have failed to win any of their last five matchups. More worrying, Thursday guests have won just one of their last four matches on the road.
