Hull City

The "Tigers" have noticeably gained momentum in recent months and have managed to break into the Championship's top six. However, it's too early for complacency, as they are only one point ahead of Norwich, their closest pursuer. Meanwhile, their gap from fourth-placed Southampton widened to 14 points over the weekend. A few rounds ago, Hull defeated Southampton 2-1 away, but they couldn't capitalize on that success in subsequent matches. Initially, Hull drew 1-1 at home against West Bromwich, and last weekend, they dropped points in a goalless draw against Preston.

Birmingham City

The "Blues" find themselves in a precarious situation as recent defeats have dissolved their four-point cushion above the relegation zone. Currently, Tony Mowbray's team has 38 points, the same as Stoke City, who are in the relegation zone. Additionally, QPR and Huddersfield also have 38 points. In essence, the battle for survival is in full swing! Birmingham doesn't appear to be the favorite, as they have been losing quite frequently lately. Perhaps the quality of opponents plays a role, as in recent rounds, the "Blues" performed decently but fell to Ipswich (1-3) and Southampton (3-4).

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• After Hull secured an away victory in the first leg (2-0), the teams clashed twice more in the FA Cup. Following a draw on Hull's turf, Birmingham claimed a 2-1 victory at home.
• In the last two encounters, both teams scored, although the bet on "Both Teams to Score" didn't pan out in five previous matches.

Hull City vs Birmingham City Prediction

Birmingham has lost their last two matches but has shown resilience against Championship leaders. Hull is the favorite, but Birmingham should find the net themselves. Our bet is on "Total Over 2.5" with odds of 1.90.
