EFL Championship
Our Three Predictions For Birmingham City vs Hull City:
- First Prediction For Birmingham City vs Hull City: Match Result – Birmingham City – 4/5
- Second Prediction For Birmingham City vs Hull City: Over 2.5 Goals – 9/10
- Third Prediction For Birmingham City vs Hull City: Both Teams To Score – Yes – 5/6
First Prediction For Birmingham City vs Hull City: Match Result – Birmingham City – 4/5
Birmingham City kept alive their long unbeaten home streak with a dramatic 99th-minute equaliser against Sheffield Wednesday last month. That was their 29th game without a defeat in this part of the West Midlands, with 4 such games this term. With 2 wins and 2 draws this term, the Blues will be confident of continuing this run as they close in on their club record of 36 in the 1970s.
Hull’s chances of recording an away win appear very slim then, particularly when taking into account the Tigers’ away record. One of three sides in the second tier yet to win on the road this season, they are now eight games without victory across all competitions away from their home ground. Though they did hold leaders Coventry City to a draw, Hull have already lost twice this campaign.
With all that in mind, it seems impossible that Birmingham City won’t beat Hull City this weekend, continuing that unbeaten home streak.
Second Prediction For Birmingham City vs Hull City: Over 2.5 Goals – 9/10
Only 5 sides have conceded fewer times at home this season than the Blues 3 thus far, with Birmingham keeping clean sheets in 2 of their last 3 games. But their tally at the other end has been a little more average, managing 5 goals from 4 games. Crucially though, Chris Davies’ outfit have managed to score in every home game this season.
Given the lowly record of Hull on the road, it is of little surprise to find that only Queens Park Rangers have shipped more goals than the Tigers 8. They have all come in their past 3 away outings, but their tally of 5 at the other end is a lot more respectable. With that in mind, expect at least 3 goals to be scored this weekend.
Third Prediction For Birmingham City vs Hull City: Both Teams To Score – Yes – 5/6
The Blues have had a unique set of form in terms of both them and their opponents finding the net in their games so far. After that was achieved in the first 3 games across all competitions, each of their next 6 saw only 1 side find the scoresheet. But they restored their run of both teams scoring in their past 2 games against Sheffield Wednesday and Wrexham.
Following Hull’s goalless draw against Coventry on the opening day of the campaign, the Tigers have only failed to score once. And their opponents have the same record, with Sheffield United kept at bay 2 weeks ago. Therefore, expect both teams to find the back of the net in the West Midlands this weekend.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Consecutive draws to Wrexham and Sheffield Wednesday have halted Birmingham City’s progress in the Championship this season. They are now 3 games without a win, following a crushing 3-0 loss at Coventry City. In fact, the Blues are now winless in 6 of their last 7 games across all competitions, with four losses in that period.
Earlier in September, Birmingham required another injury-time goal to take all three points against Swansea City. That helped right the wrongs of the previous Saturday, when Stoke City eased to three points, with the Blues failing to have a shot on target in Staffordshire. Consecutive away trips to Preston North End and Bristol City are still to come this month.
A fortnight ago, Hull City inflicted yet another defeat on Sheffield United, with Ivor Pandur saving a late penalty after David Akintola’s opener. An Ollie McBurnie double had salvaged a point the previous Tuesday against Preston North End, with the former Las Palmas striker rounding off a fine afternoon against Southampton.
He was also on target at Swansea City, alongside another former Blade in John Egan, to secure an injury-time point in South Wales. The Tigers’ only loss since the last international break came at the hands of Watford, with the Hornets completing a comeback victory. Consecutive home games against Leicester City and Charlton Athletic are quickly on the agenda for Sergej Jakirović’s outfit.
Hull City were victorious on their last 2 visits to Birmingham City, and unbeaten in 5 trips to the Second City in the Championship. Nevertheless, the Tigers trail the head-to-head by 3 wins, though it is extremely tight between these second tiers regulars.
