Hull City look to bounce back from their dramatic 3–2 defeat to Bristol City, but their home form remains a concern with just 1.00 point per game at the MKM Stadium. Therefore, we predict that they will suffer a 3-1 loss to Chelsea in Friday's FA Cup game. The Tigers have been scoring only 0.80 goals per home game of late, which is yet another reason why home win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in Sergej Jakirovic's team.
Liam Rosenior's men travel in excellent form, collecting 2.40 points per game away from home and scoring an impressive 2.80 goals on their travels. Their attacking depth has driven them to a 70% win rate overall, while their xG metrics (1.76 for, 1.18 against) underline both quality and control. Defensively they remain vulnerable, keeping 0 clean sheets away, but their firepower usually compensates. The squad is boosted by the availability of fresh legs: Hato, Neto, Fofana and Delap all impressed off the bench in the 2–2 draw with Leeds and are pushing for starts.
Historically, Chelsea dominate this matchup with 10 wins from 12, and once again enter as clear favourites. Considering Chelsea's fine away form and superior squad depth, Away Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Chelsea Over 1.5 as the Blues matches average 3.70 goals.
This FA Cup match will be played on Friday 13 February 2026 at 19:45.
