It’s not been often in recent games that Hull City have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Hull City have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 9 goals on the way. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though.

Going into this encounter, Hull City haven’t won at home in the past 6 league matches. Their fans aren't happy.

📋 Team News: Hull City

Cyrus Christie (Achilles tendon problems) and James Furlong (Knee injury) will not be able to play for Hull City manager Liam Rosenior.

We think that The Tigers could employ a 4-4-2 system in the match featuring Ryan Allsop, Regan Slater, Alfie Jones, Jacob Greaves, Matty Jacob, Abdulkadir Omur, Tyler Morton, Jean Michael Seri, Jaden Philogene, Ozan Tufan and Fabio Carvalho.

🗞️ Team News: QPR

With a fully healthy squad to choose from, the QPR manager Martí Cifuentes has no fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this game.

We’re of the thinking that The R's seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system using Asmir Begovic, Jimmy Dunne, Steve Cook, Morgan Fox, Kenneth Paal, Isaac Hayden, Sam Field, Paul Smyth, Lucas Andersen, Ilias Chair and Lyndon Dykes.

✨ Prediction

Our thinking is that Queens Park Rangers have the capability to score against this Hull City outfit, but it might not be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We reckon that it will be a 2-1 winning score for Hull City by the conclusion of the game. It’s a very tough call.
