Bristol City vs Hull City prediction: Robins to take the cake
Key stats
- Bristol City have lost just one of their last 14 league H2Hs (W7, D6).
- The Robins are winless in their last three competitive games (D2, L1).
- Hull have won once in their opening four fixtures of the new season (D1, L2).
- The Tigers are winless in back-to-back away matches across all competitions.
Correct score prediction: Bristol City 1-1 Hull City
Despite opening their league campaign with an emphatic 4-1 win over Sheffield United, Bristol City’s form has since wavered, managing back-to-back league draws before an EFL Cup exit to Fulham. Still, the Robins remain unbeaten in their first three league matches and will look to match their four-game unbeaten start from 2020/21.
On the other hand, Hull City saw their unbeaten league start abruptly ended by a 3-0 home defeat to Blackburn. With both Sergej Jakirovic’s and Gerhard Struber’s sides struggling for consistency, this encounter is poised to end in a hard-fought draw.

Player to watch: Oliver McBurnie
McBurnie netted a stoppage-time winner in the 3-2 win over Oxford United two matchdays ago, not to mention the two assists he provided in that MOTM performance at home. Despite firing a blank against Blackburn last match, the former Bristol Rovers forward will count his chances to upset the Bristol City backline in this crucial encounter.
