Hull City host Watford in a key Championship clash as the Tigers look to consolidate their top-three position. As Watford are low on confidence following a 2-0 loss to Swansea, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Tigers remain resilient despite a long injury list, with Ajayi, Belloumi, Crooks, Drameh, Giles, Gyabi, and Matazo sidelined. However, the team overcame Blackburn 1-0 last time, maintaining an impressive 2.3 points per game overall. At home, Hull average 1.25 goals scored and just 0.5 conceded, keeping clean sheets in 50% of matches.
Watford arrive in mid-table, having lost 2-0 to Swansea last weekend. The Hornets' away form is decent, with 1.6 points per game and 1.8 goals conceded per match. Forward Nestory Irankunda is banned, though not a regular starter, while there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team. H2H stats are evenly balanced, with both sides winning 5 of their last 15 encounters.
Considering Hull City's fine home record and solid defence, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Hull City to Win to Nil.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 3 February 2026 at 19:45.
