Calling it a draw
We've already mentioned the fact that these two clubs are near to one another in the standings but that's not the only reason we're predicting a draw in this match. Hull have drawn three of their last four home matches whilst QPR have drawn two of their last three away from home. On top of that, the head to head record in recent encounters between these two have been pretty damn even too. The last six h2h clashes have seen both sides win two games with another two ending level. With all that considered alongside the betting odds, we think a draw bet is the smartest value out there.
A low scoring match
Our next tip for this game comes from the total goals market and, for us, it looks like a low scoring match hence the prediction of under 2.5 total goals. Hull have gone under that 2.5 threshold in each of their last four home matches with an average of 2.0 goals per game across that period. QPR meanwhile have seen three of their past five away games fall short of three goals; they've been involved in a total of 10 goals across that five game spell giving them a 2.0 goal average.

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: 17/11 (2.55) – 39%
Draw odds: 9/4 (3.25) – 31%
QPR odds: 7/4 (2.75) – 36%
Hull might arrive into this match as favourites but the bookies odds tell you that a hon win is far from a guarantee for the weekend with the away win not lagging too far behind in the odds. Another area that is hardly definitive from a betting perspective is the both teams to score options; both yes and no bets are priced as “odds on”.
Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Hull vs QPR
Hull
Hull arrive here with a few injury concerns owing to the fact that Vaughn Covil, Dimitrios Pelkas and Allahyar Sayyadmanesh are sidelined but it might be Benjamin Tetteh's absence that rankles more; he is suspended for this match after seeing red last time out. Oscar Estupinan, however, will start despite continuing links with a move.
Predicted lineup – Ingram, Coyle, Jones, McLoughlin, Greaves, Seri, Docherty, Christie, Slater, Connolly, Estupinan
QPR
At the moment, Leon Balogun is the only absentee QPR have to worry about for this match leaving them in a strong place. That said, the lack of injury issues hasn't helped them in recent weeks as they've struggled for wins. Chris Willock could come back into the starting XI to try and change that here.
Predicted lineup – Dieng, Kayay, Dickie, Dunne, Paal, Dozzell, Field, Willock, Chair, Roberts, Dykes

Player to watch
Hull's Oscar Estupinan is the man to watch in this game. He's been linked with an exit from the MKM Stadium during the current transfer window but now looks likely to remain with the Tigers until at least the summer. They'll be delighted given he has scored 12 goals in 25 league appearances so far this term. That makes him their biggest threat to the QPR backline here.
