Hull City vs Preston North End Match Analysis and Prediction

Hull City will be looking to extend their winning streak to four matches in the Championship on the bounce when they take on Preston North End at the MKM Stadium on Saturday evening with kickoff at 18:00.

Hull City had a difficult start to the 2021/22 Championship campaign with the club spending a fair part of the campaign in the relegation battle. However, despite occupying 18th position, Hull are no longer regarded as potential relegation candidates as the Tigers have been on a resurgent lately winning in all of their last three matches on the trot, scoring five goals while conceding none in the process.

The run has seen Shota Arverladze’s men steer clear of the relegation zone which is what Averladze will want of his side to continue climbing away from the dead zone as they aim at breaking into the top half.

Meanwhile Preston have been fairly inconsistent this season with the club now sitting in the 13th on 38 points collected form 29 matches.

However, Ryan Lowe will be delighted with how things are for his side, which has just lost one of their last eight league fixtures, claiming three wins the run and five points collected from a possible last nine, has his team seemingly heading in the right direction.

Although, they are coming off back-to-back draws and they will want to quickly turn that around as a win here could take them to four points within the top six. Therefore, this match is important for the visitors as well making it a very close affair that we anticipate a few goals.
