English Championship: Hull v Birmingham Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Saturday 2nd March 2019 (Kick-off 4:00 PM CET). 

Two teams playing some very good attacking football are meeting in a big game at the KCOM Stadium on Saturday as both Hull City and Birmingham City chase a surprise place in the Play Offs at the end of the Championship season.

The amount of goals and chances that both Hull City and Birmingham City have scored and created at home/away respectively in recent games suggest a really good game could be in the offing on Saturday.

I am always concerned backing goals in poor weather conditions and it could be very wet on Saturday afternoon, but these teams have tended to produce fireworks when facing one another. 5 of the last 7 between them have featured three or more goals shared out including all 3 played since the beginning of the 2017/18 season.

Hull City have scored two or more goals in 7 straight home games, but they have also conceded in each of their last 2 games at the KCOM Stadium. At the same time Birmingham City have scored in their last 4 away games and scored two or more goals in 3 straight on their travels while failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 6 away from home.

Backing at least three goals to be shared out at odds against looks a very good price for this fixture and I will look for that to be the outcome of this fixture.

Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
