Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner for this clash, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Hull and Watford will score at least a couple of goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Sergej Jakirović or Javier Gracia Carlos has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s recently either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.30 equating to approximately a 77% probability.

Goal Statistics

Hull City's defensive record is very strong, S. Jakirović's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Championship games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Watford makes sense in this context.
