1st Prediction For Watford FC vs Hull City: Hull City to win 2/1
Despite being in much better form than their hosts on Tuesday night, the bookmakers think Hull City are less likely to emerge victorious than Watford, meaning it could be very fruitful to predict the away side to win. Ruben Selles’ appointment as manager has seen an upturn in form for the Tigers as they have picked up eight wins and five draws in his 23 games in charge to move them into 19th place in the league, three points above the drop zone. They have been in relatively good form recently, winning two and drawing two of their last five league fixtures which puts them in eighth place in the form table. In this time, they have needed to contend with tricky fixtures against the likes of Bristol City and West Bromwich Albion. Additionally, Hull’s record away from home is nothing short of remarkable given their league position. They have picked up a very respectable 25 points from 20 games on their travels, only six teams have got more points away from home, and this total represents six points more than they have won at the MKM Stadium.
2nd Prediction For Watford FC vs Hull City: Both teams to score: yes 4/5
Those looking for a safer prediction should consider predicting both teams to score as this does not rely on either side winning the game. Watford are a fairly good team going forward. They have scored 1.2 goals per game on average, the 10th best in the league, and they have created the 10th-most xG of any team in the Championship. Hull City have also been in relatively good form in front of goal in recent weeks. The Tigers have failed to find the back of the net just once since mid-February and in the game where they did not score, against Luton Town, they had a staggering 14 shots on goal. As well as this, young winger Abu Kamara has been in relatively good form recently, with the 21-year-old registering three combined goals and assists in his last six games in the Championship.
3rd Prediction For Watford FC vs Hull City: Charlie Hughes to be carded 7/2
Young centre-back Charlie Hughes has been one of Hull City’s best players this season, but the 21-year-old is prone to being carded and the bookmakers have offered very good odds on this happening on Tuesday night. The England youth international was signed from Wigan Athletic in the summer and has made 21 appearances for Ruben Selles’ men this season, a large number of which have come whilst the Spaniard has been manager. But, he has been carded a staggering nine times in these 21 league games and three of these yellow cards have come in his last six matches. What is telling is that Hughes has only committed 1.34 fouls per 90, meaning that, when he does make a foul, it tends to be quite a bad challenge which is worthy of receiving a yellow card.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Watford FC head into Tuesday night’s game sitting in 10th place in the table with 53 points from 40 games. A strong start to the season which saw them sit in the playoff places has been marred by inconsistency in recent months and they are now seven points off the playoffs, a gap that will likely be too large to surmount in the final six games of the campaign. They have been in poor form recently, picking up just one win and four points in their last five games which puts them in 21st place in the form guide. Nevertheless, Tom Cleverly will hope that his side can maintain their good home record and end what has been a mixed season on a high.
As for Hull City, their end to the season is monumentally important. The Tigers currently occupy 19th place in the Championship as they have picked up 44 points in 40 games, giving them a margin of three points to the relegation places. Despite their struggles throughout the campaign as a whole, they have been in good form recently, winning two and drawing two of their last five league fixtures which puts them in seventh place in the form guide. Ruben Selles will be hoping that his side’s good away form can continue so that his team can get a win and move one step closer to survival.
It was a very open affair when the two teams met earlier in the season. An 82nd minute goal from Chris Bedia was cancelled out by an 88th minute strike from Rocco Vata as the youngster earned the Hornets a point with his first strike for the club.
