Hull v Bristol City: Big defeat predicted for miserable visitors
Published:Already relegated with the division’s worst defence, it is not difficult to fathom why Bristol City are a big 6/1 to win at the home of Championship promotion hopefuls Hull.
But whilst 2/5 looks a fair price about the hosts for big-stake punters, value can be found in backing the Tigers to achieve a dominant victory at the KC Stadium.
City have most regularly notched two or three times on their own patch this term, with those totals registered in 14 of their 21 home league outings over the course of the campaign.
1/1 is a tempting price that another repetition of those circumstances occurs, whilst 11/10 is available regarding a Hull triumph in which more than 2.5 total goals are registered.
A bet on that specific market would have paid dividends in over half of the Tigers’ 24 league wins this season, with the outcome prevailing in nine of their 13 home successes.
Meanwhile, although the visiting Robins have a woeful defensive record this term, having been breached on 77 occasions, they haven’t been particularly shy in front of goal, bagging just two times less than Steve Bruce’s second-place charges so far.
Therefore, it could pay to invest in the 11/5 odds that both teams find the net in a Hull victory, whilst 10/11 is the price that either side simply registers in the game.
Even if they are to score though, it would take a monumental effort from travelling City to resist a likely barrage from their promotion-hunting hosts, indicating that handicap markets are worth a look.
11/10 is available regarding Bruce’s outfit overcoming a theoretical one-goal disadvantage, a feat they have achieved only in home matches this season.
As four of their six triumphs by a two-goal margin or more came against lower-half opposition too, further weight is lent to the claim that the Tigers are worthy of handicap betting consideration.
