Hull vs Watford prediction, odds & betting tips – 11/12/2024

Hull vs Watford prediction: Guests to edge out a narrow win

Key stats

• Watford have only lost once in their last seven games in the league, four of which they've won.
• Six of the previous seven H2H duels between these two teams have gone under 2.5 total goals.
• Hull have gone under 2.5 total goals in eight of their 10 home games in the league this season.

Correct score prediction: Hull 0-1 Watford

With Hull on a losing streak and Watford without a loss in four games, we have to back the guests to do well in this game and since their recent duels rarely yielded many goals, a minimal win for Watford sounds like a reasonable bet.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Hull the more likely winners

• HOME: 5/4 – 44.40%
• DRAW: 13/5 – 27.80%
• AWAY: 19/10 – 34.50%

*Odds from 7Bet, subject to change

Looking at these Hull vs Watford odds, we can see that the hosts are the expected winners, which is quite surprising considering they're on a six-game losing streak at the moment.

Furthermore, they are last in the standings, while Watford are near the playoff zone, 15 points ahead, so even though Hull are hosting the game and their new manager Ruben Selles will make his debut, we are still surprised to see Hull as the favourites.

Hull preview: Already at the bottom, can they move up?

After six losses in a row, Hull City have hit the very bottom of the Championship standings and that cost Tim Walter and his assistant their jobs. Ruben Selles takes over at Hull, hoping to start his reign with a win to end their embarrassing streak and move the team up from the last place in the league.

When it comes to team news, Oscar Zambrano and Charlie Hughes will miss this match to serve their respective suspensions, while Liam Millar, Dogukan Sinik, and Bachir Belloumi are out with injuries, and Alfie Jones is questionable.

Predicted lineup: Pandur (GK), Coyle, McLoughlin, Burns, Giles, Puerta, Slater, Kamara, Palmer, Burstow & Bedia

Watford preview: On a good run of form

The Hornets are without a loss in their last four games in the Championship and they've won four of their previous seven matches. This good run of form puts them in seventh place in the standings with 30 points from 19 games, which is just a point behind the first team in the playoff zone.

Meanwhile, Angelo Ogbonna and Tom Dele-Bashiru are still sidelined with injuries, while Ryan Andrews is doubtful.

Predicted lineup: Bachmann (GK), Porteous, Sierralta, Pollock, Ebosele, Louza, Sissoko, Larouci, Kayembe, Chakvetadze & Bayo

Player to watch: Vakoun Issouf Bayo

The forward from Ivory Coast has been in good form this season, scoring seven goals in the Championship for Watford. If he can do his job against Hull as well, Watford have a good chance of getting points from this game.
