Hull City return home looking to recover from their 3â1 defeat to QPR, a match in which Japan forward Yu Hirakawa picked up a knock and remains doubtful. As both sides seem to struggle up front, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Tigers have struggled badly at home this season, collecting just 0.71 points per game and winning only 14% of their matches at the MKM Stadium. Their scoring output also drops significantly at homeâonly 0.71 goals per game, compared to 2.00 away. Defensively, they concede 1.71 at home, which explains their current run of three straight home defeats. No other fresh injury problems, but confidence is fragile.Derby County, meanwhile, head into the match after a 2â0 loss to Watford, yet their away form remains a major strength. The Rams average 2.25 points per game on the road, winning 75% of their away fixtures and scoring 2.00 goals per match. Their defensive numbers also impressâjust 0.50 goals conceded on average. However, they remain without Johnston, Langas, and Widell Zetterstrom, all of whom miss out again.
