Hull City to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n7\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(41.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Hull City because they have outscored Birmingham by 13 goals this season, boast a top-three league scorer in Oliver McBurnie, and have won four of their last six home H2Hs against Birmingham. Their shot accuracy is also notably higher (42.7% vs 34.9%).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Paddy Power<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBoth teams have found the net in four of the last six head-to-head meetings, and with Hull scoring freely but also conceding 60 goals this season, there\u2019s a strong statistical case for goals at both ends.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
