As the Championship season reaches its climax, Hull City welcomes Preston North End to the KCOM Stadium on April 21, 2025. With only a handful of matches remaining, both teams find themselves in desperate need of points; Hull City sits precariously in 20th place with 45 points, while Preston North End is not too far ahead in 17th position with 49 points.

Recent Form

Hull City is coming off a run of mixed results in their recent outings, having lost their last match against Swansea City 1-0, and before that, they managed a draw with Coventry City. Although they secured a win against Sheffield Wednesday, their overall form has left much to be desired. With 20 losses this season and an overall goal differential of -10, fans are left wondering if their team can muster the resilience needed for this crucial match.

Preston North End, on the other hand, has also encountered a rough patch in their last matches, suffering defeats against Leeds United and Queens Park Rangers in their previous outings. They have managed to draw their last two games, showcasing their ability to hold out, although they have also dropped points when it mattered most. While they have scored more than Hull this season with a total of 44 goals, they have also conceded 53, painting a picture of a leaky defense.

Head to Head and Current Odds

Looking back at their most recent encounter in December 2024, Preston emerged victorious with a 1-0 win, which may give them the psychological edge going into this game. According to the latest odds, Hull City is favored to win with a probability of 51.28%, presenting a 1.95 value, while the odds for a Preston win stand at 4.20 with a probability of 23.81%. The draw has been pegged at 3.25 with a 30.77% chance.

Given Hull’s home advantage and the desperate need for points, expect them to come out swinging. With the two teams' defensive vulnerabilities and a combined goal-scoring prowess, betting on both teams to score appears to be a tempting option.
