Another draw awaits Nottingham Forest
It hasn't quite gone to plan for Hull or Nottingham Forest so far this season.
Hull began the season with a solid 2-0 win over Swansea City at the KC Stadium, but then went on a four game winless streak, before overcoming Derby 2-0 in the week. They welcomed back Jimmy Bullard for that clash, while ex-West Brom player Robert Koren also featured, giving the Tigers some much needed creativity in the midfield.
Nottingham Forest started with a loss against Burnley before going on to draw their next four games 1-1. A 2-1 win against Preston North End on Tuesday came courtesy of two Lewis McGugan strikes, and has got Forest moving in the right direction.
Forest will have to up their game if they are to find a way past the Tigers' defence in this game though. Hull have yet to concede a goal in any of their home games this term, and will be hard to beat. Forest won't be helped by their abysmal away record either - their win against Preston was their first victory on the road in 14 attempts.
Despite their poor record, Forest have only failed to score twice in their previous ten away games, so backing both teams to score at [1.83] is certainly worth a punt, despite Hull's impressive defensive record at the KC Stadium.
With both teams finding wins hard to come by, neither would turn their nose up at a draw. They are incredibly evenly matched at this time, so you should get on the scores to be level at full-time at a very tempting [3.4].
Reckon we're right? Let us know below...
