Hull City and Blackburn Rovers square off against each other in a highly-anticipated FA Cup game. Given Blackburn's struggles on the road, we predict a 1-0 home win. Hull’s narrow 1-0 defeat to Stoke City interrupted their solid run, but Sergej Jakirović still has a competitive squad even with Semi Ajayi unavailable due to international duty. The Tigers remain a far stronger side away than at home, yet even at the MKM Stadium they’ve shown they can be dangerous, winning two of their last three there. Their home scoring average (0.80) is modest, but overall metrics remain positive: 1.20 xG, and 40% home clean sheets.
Blackburn Rovers, meanwhile, head into the FA Cup clash with no new injury worries, but the deeper problem remains: a long injury list and a team struggling to convert performances into wins. They’ve managed just one win in ten, and with zero wins on the road of late, scoring only 0.50 per away game. Their expected goals numbers (1.31 xG away, 1.26 xGA) suggest a side that competes but struggles up front.
Hull’s stronger overall form, higher scoring power, and Blackburn’s ongoing injury depletion point toward a Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals as the Tigers' home games often stay tight.
This FA Cup match will be played on Sunday 11 January 2026 at 14:30.
