On Wednesday, at 18:00, Bristol City will meet Hull City in the 42nd round of the English second league. The two rivals in the Championship promise a quality match, in which we will try the corner bets. The style of play of the two teams usually brings many balls to the side and many centerings.
Bristol City know how to put pressure on their opponents when they play at Ashton Gate Stadium, but on Wednesday they will miss the injured Maenpaa and the suspended Williams. Elder and Kane will not be able to play from Hull, but we can say that the two managers have competitive groups from which they can choose their ideal 11. In the standings, things are complicated for Hull, who is not recovering after reaching the second league.
Bristol City is in 12th place (goal average 53-60), with 55 points, 9 points behind a place that leads in the playoffs. There is little chance that the red and whites will succeed in the miracle at the end of the season. Hull is on the 21st place (goal difference 56-72) and has only one point above the first team below the relegation line. With only one failure in the last three stages, the “tigers” have their arguments to a good result, especially since Bristol is in a total fall: 4 consecutive failures in the championship. We remember a direct duel ended with the score of 5-5, in 2018, right at Bristol at home!
Bristol City have lost every game since the restart of the league: 1-3 to Blackburn, 1-2 to Sheffield Wednesday, 0-1 to Nottingham Forest and 0-1 to Cardiff. Hull comes after a 2-4 at the WBA, but also after a 2-1 with Middlesbrough and a 3-3 at Birmingham. Seeing these scores, we think again of an open match, with many phases of the goal, but awarded by the hosts.
-In 6 of the last 7 direct duels both teams have scored;
-In 5 of the last 7 direct duels, at least three goals were scored;

PREDICTION: Bristol City to win @ 2,10
