In the last round, the club suffered its first defeat in seven matches, losing to one of its competitors, QPR (1:2).

8.00Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in the last five matches between the teams.
1.90Tip and bets
The opponents score very little in face-to-face matches - only one goal in four meetings. The teams are very close to the relegation zone, so they will probably try to play carefully this time, so as not to give the competitor three points. Most likely, no more than two goals will be scored in this match.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the outcome
The hosts have been a little more successful this season and have had far fewer injury problems. Hull have lost too many players, so the Tigers are unlikely to score points against Preston, who have a more or less optimal squad.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Preston for 1.65
Bet on corners
We think that in this match the teams will rely on defense, which should lead to a small number of corner kicks. We will bet on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is total under 10.5 corners for 1.70
