Hull will welcome Cardiff City to the MKM Stadium on Saturday, 28 September for a Championship fixture that will mark the away team's first match since the departure of manager, Erol Bulut.
Cardiff are currently rock bottom of the Championship and are yet to win a match in the league this season.
Hull also haven't started the season how they would have hoped and currently sit in 16th place after picking up just six points from their opening six games.
As part of our latest round of Championship betting tips, here is our Hull vs Cardiff prediction.

Hull vs Cardiff prediction: The visitors to avoid defeat
Key Stats
- Five of Hull's six Championship matches this season have produced fewer than three goals.
- Cardiff's last three matches have all produced fewer than three goals.
- Hull have drawn 50% of their league matches so far this season.
- Last weekend, these two teams combined for five total corners.
Correct score prediction: Hull 1-1 Cardiff
Although Cardiff are yet to appoint a new permanent manager, the removal of Bulut will likely result in an initial ‘bounce' so expect them to at least get on the scoresheet on Saturday. The hosts have already displayed this season that they are quite happy to draw games and given that they are yet to win a match at home this season
Pre-game odds and win probability: The hosts come in as favourites
- WIN: 19/20 (1.95) – 51.3%
- DRAW: 5/2 (3,50) – 28.6%
- AWAY: 29/10 (3.90) – 25.%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Hull are the favourites for this one which won't be a surprise to them given how poorly their opponents have started the new Championship season. Ladbrokes have priced a Hull win at 19/20 while a win for Cardiff has been priced at 29/10. The draw, which would be a decent start for Cardiff's new interim head coach, has been priced at 5/2.

Hull preview: The next man on the chopping block?
Last season, Hull sacked Liam Rosenior for finishing seventh in the league table, three points off the playoffs so the current situation won't be tolerated for much longer by the club's hierarchy. As a result, Tim Walter needs to start picking up more wins and this would be a great place to start.
Predicted lineup: Pandur (GK), Coyle, Jones, McLoughlin, Drameh, Mehlem, Zambrano, Palmer, Omur, Belloumi, Bedia

Cardiff preview: Banking on a new manager bounce
Erol Bulut can have no complaints about his sacking at Cardiff City. The club have only picked up one point in the league this season and they have only scored one goal. The infamous new manager bounce could now come to their rescue and could even land interim boss, Omer Riza, the job on a permanent basis.
Predicted lineup: Alnwick (GK), Ng, Chambers, Fish, Collins, Ralls, Siopis, Tanner, Colwill, O'Dowda, Kanga

Player to watch: Kasey Palmer
Kasey Palmer has enjoyed an established career in the Championship over the past eight years but he become a bit of a journeyman. He is now with his sixth club in the division in Hull City so it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that the move hasn't phased him too much and that he has settled in brilliantly.
The all-action midfielder has already scored twice for his new club and seems to be enjoying his more advanced role. Can he continue to shine this weekend?
