Hull City vs West Brom Prediction: Will WBA draw seven in a row?

West Brom drew their sixth game in a row on Thursday night as they held Burnley to a 0-0 stalemate. It was perhaps a predictable result given Burnley’s lack of goals, but WBA will look to get back to winning ways as they travel north to face Hull City (13:00, Sunday). 

The Tigers have gone six games without a win and manager Tim Walter is coming under pressure after a poor start to the season. Below you can find my Hull City vs West Brom prediction featuring team news and betting tips.

Team News

Hull City have suffered a major blow this week as it was confirmed that star winger Mohamed Belloumi has suffered an ACL injury and will miss the remainder of the season. He joins fellow winger Liam Millar on the sidelines as he is out with the same issue.

Marvin Melhem, Carl Rushworth and Steven Alzate are still missing for Walter which has put him in a tricky situation. Ryan Giles was handed a rare start at left-back last time out but could be replaced by Cody Drameh once more, while Chris Bedia may lead the line in place of Joao Pedro. Kasey Palmer played in a deeper role in midfield with little effect so expect him to be pushed forward or taken out of the team. 

Meanwhile, West Brom are doing well defensively despite being without Paddy McNair, Semi Ajayi and Kyle Bartley. Torbjorn Heggem started alongside Mason Holgate against Burnley and they will continue in front of Alex Palmer.

Further forward Grady Diangana, Michael Johnston and Jed Wallace were all named as substitutes in midweek and it feels like Carlos Corberan will have to change things up in the attacking third to try and find some goals. Josh Maja will hope to get back amongst the goals after his rapid goalscoring start has slowed down. 

Hull City vs West Brom Odds 

Hull are priced at 7/4 to win this game while West Brom are available at 13/8. That gives the away team a win probability of 38%, with a draw available at 9/4. Over 2.5 goals is 1/1, BTTS is 8/11 and Josh Maja is the favourite to open the scoring at 11/2. 

Under 2.5 goals @ 8/11

The obvious pick. In 71 per cent of West Brom’s matches this season there have been fewer than 2.5 goals while intriguingly, Hull actually have the very same record. These two are boring. Simple as that. West Brom’s last seven games in all competitions have ended under 2.5 goals, and their current run of results reads 0-0, 0-0, 1-1, 0-0.

Simply shocking stuff from an attacking perspective, even if their defensive fortitude must be applauded during that time. It’s the way that Corberan likes to set his team up so don’t expect fireworks here, with Hull only managing to score three goals in their last five outings. 

Draw @ 9/4

I think that 0-0 or 1-1 are the most likely scorelines to expect here, so let’s back a tepid draw to go with our under 2.5 goals. Three of the last four Hull games have ended in draws, while West Brom’s current run of six draws on the bounce is bonkers. There’s not going to be a lot between these two teams, so I’m happy to back the spoils to be shared once again.
