Hull and Derby to both hit the back of the net

Hull and Derby to both hit the back of the net
2437

Despite having a player sent off in their midweek clash away at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night, Hull City registered an excellent 2-1 win at the City Ground to lift them up into 15th place on the Championship league table.

However, predicting what Hull City are going to do next is close to impossible as The Tigers are renowned for their Jekyll & Hyde performances, but although the straight win markets are fraught with danger wherever Hull are concerned, there’s usually goals involved.

Hull are more than capable of scoring goals through the likes of Grosicki (4 goals), Bowen (6 goals) and Magennis (2 goals) although the latter was sent off at Nottingham Forest and is likely to be suspended for this match.

The hosts are also adept at conceding goals too, much to the frustration of manager, Grant McCann, whose side have seen 9 of their 13 matches resulting in both teams scoring, and the KCOM Stadium has witnessed the 4th highest number of goals at home in the Championship to date.

Onto Derby County and the visitors bounced back straight away from last weekend’s heavy 3-0 defeat away at Charlton Athletic during the week when they recorded a 1-0 home win against Wigan Athletic on Wednesday night.

That’s now just 1 defeat out of their last 7 matches for Derby County who are now just starting to build some momentum under manager, Philip Cocu, with 4 of these last 7 matches also resulting in both teams scoring.

In addition, 4 of Derby County’s last 6 matches away from home have also seen both teams hit the back of the net, and having registered just 1 win out of these first 6 matches on their travels, The Rams will no doubt be eager to make the most of Hull’s generous defence this Saturday afternoon.

The bigger picture shows that 9 of Derby’s last 13 away matches have resulted in both teams scoring as well, while journeyman striker and former Hull City forward, Waghorn (4 goals) along with Martin and Lawrence (3 goals apiece) look the most likely to net for The Rams.

To further emphasise Hull and Derby’s respective porous defences, Hull have kept just 2 clean sheets out of their last 15 home matches, while Derby have kept just 1 clean sheet from their last 15 away from home.

Both teams to score here therefore looks highly likely.
