Hull to win
We kick off our tips for this game by predicting Hull run out winners. The Tigers put in a great display last time out beating QPR 3-0 meaning they've now lost just one of their last five home matches. Cardiff meanwhile are in a really poor run of form having lost each of their last three games whilst their winless run extends much further. The Bluebirds last won in November and that was 13 games ago. Hull have also won the last three head to head games.
Going under 2.5 goals
Our next prediction for this match comes from the total goals market and we are betting on the ‘under 2.5' option. Hull have seen four of their last five home games fall south of that 2.5 cut off with a total of just 11 goals seen across that period; that gives Hull a 2.2 goals per game average. Cardiff meanwhile have seen three of their last four away games fall under the 2.5 mark with a game average of 2.3 goals. Three of the last five meetings between these two at Hull's home ground have also come up short against the 2.5 threshold.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the bookies odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game and how might that impact your view of our predictions? Let's find out.
Hull odds: 5/4 (2.25) – 44%
Draw odds: 9/4 (3.25) – 31%
Cardiff odds: 7/4 (2.75) – 36%
The bookies might have Hull down as favourites to win this game but the odds being north of the evens (2.00) line tell you that this match is unlikely to be a completely one sided affair. The total goals odds being heavily stacked towards ‘under 2.5' is a further sign that the bookmakers foresee a rather tight affair; odds of 5/6 (1.83) in the both teams to score ‘no' betting option is another indicator of that!
Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Hull vs Cardiff
Hull
Hull arguably put in their best performance of the season last time out as they took QPR apart with. That display will have the Tigers fans purring and any changes to the XI would be eyebrow raising to say the least. Benjamin Tetteh will again be missing from the squad owing to suspension.
Predicted lineup – Ingram, Christie, Jones, McLoughlin, Elder, Tufan, Seri, Docherty, Slater, Estupinan, Connolly
Cardiff
Sabri Lamouchi lost his first game in charge of Cardiff in the week but will have seen some positives in their display. As such, massive changes to the XI aren't likely for this game with one notable exception. Sory Kaba was a very late deadline day addition and the striker will likely go straight into the lineup to give more of a goal threat.
Predicted lineup – Allsop, Simpson, McGuinness, Kipre, Ng, Wintle, Sawyers, Ralls, Harris, Robinson, Kaba

Player to watch
The player we want to highlight in this game is Hull forward Aaron Connolly. The Irish attacker caught the eye when breaking through in the Premier League owing to his eye for goal and sharp movement but his career hasn't really kicked on. He's now three games in at Hull and bagged a brace last time out. It will be interesting to see if he can build on that good start here.
