Final Thoughts
Will West Brom’s technical approach finally pay off at home, or will Hull’s efficiency and firepower prove too much? With prolific strikers and a clear gap in confidence between the sides, Hull look well placed to at least avoid defeat. The value looks strong for Hull on the Double Chance at 8/11 (57.9%) with Paddy Power, and Gelhardt’s form makes him a tempting anytime scorer pick.
