Preston continue to battle inconsistency as they return to Deepdale following a 1-0 defeat to Derby County. As Preston and Hull City seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we predict a 1-1 draw. Robbie Brady remains sidelined, but there are no new injury concerns for the hosts. Preston’s home form has been unconvincing, collecting just 1.00 point per game, with only 17% home win efficiency. Offensively, they average 1.10 goals scored, while their defensive record is more solid than expected with 0.80 conceded per match and 30% clean sheets overall. Their expected goals of 1.35 suggests creating chances is not a major issue, but finishing remains inconsistent.
Hull City, on the other hand, have found their form of late, winning 4 of their last 5 on the road and averaging an impressive 2.60 points per away game. Semi Ajayi returns from international duty but is likely to miss out due to a minor knock. The Tigers score 2.00 goals per away match and have an overall win rate of 60%, backed by strong attacking numbers and a high away BTTS rate (80%). Defensively, they concede exactly 1.00 goal per game, but their xGA spikes to 1.84 away—indicating potential vulnerability.
As both teams’ matches exceed 1.90–2.40 goals per game on average, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, alongside Hull City or Draw and Half-Time Draw.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 20 January 2026 at 19:45.
