Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Championship match.
Hull City have emerged as the form team over the last three rounds, claiming the distinction of being the only side with three victories. The challenge has been heightened by the fact that two of these games were away encounters. As Hull City head into yet another away fixture in the ninth round, it seems they are now unstoppable.
Norwich City
The club from Norwich has slightly lagged behind Hull City, collecting seven points from a possible nine. A roadblock they couldn't overcome came in the form of Leeds United, who fought back for a draw on Norwich's home field. This result is commendable considering that the Championship favourites had recorded two prior clean-sheet wins and allowed only seven shots. However, Norwich's only accurate shot resulted in a goal. A penalty, providing them a reliable scoring chance, contributed 1.43 xG. Can Hull City overcome them? It's quite possible, given that Norwich City have not gone unbeaten for more than three games this season.
Hull City
Hull City have undergone a remarkable transformation in the last three rounds. From a team failing to find the net across three matches, they have turned into one that scores at least three goals per game over 90 minutes. However, they still concede goals, having failed to keep a clean sheet in five matches. In this regard, Norwich City do not differ much, with a similar streak over four games.
Norwich City vs Hull City Prediction
As you can see, both teams are prone to conceding goals but have been prolific in their recent matches. Therefore, betting on both teams to score or a total over 2.5 makes sense. Interestingly, the latter bet has been successful in their last five meetings. We’re betting on the total over.
