Hull City aims to maintain their prospects of advancing to the top division when they welcome Birmingham City, who are facing relegation, on Tuesday night.
The start of 2024 was disastrous for City, having lost their first two games 2-5. However, that seems like ancient history now. They approach Tuesday’s game with only one defeat from their last ten Championship matches, and have also achieved three clean sheets during this period. The Tigers are now in a significantly better position.
Meanwhile, Birmingham City has struggled to maintain consistency. The Blues received commendation from their fans when they secured consecutive victories against Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland. However, their recent performance has been disappointing, suffering 1-3 and 3-4 losses to Ipswich and Sunderland respectively in their last two matches.
Hull City vs Birmingham City Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
The last encounter between these two teams in the FA Cup earlier this year saw three goals, an unusually high number. In the six games prior to that, City and Birmingham scored less than 2.5 goals each time. I anticipate that Tuesday’s match will follow this trend.
Hull City’s recent home games have also been notable for their goal scarcity. Betting on under 2.5 goals proved successful in each of the last three matches Liam Rosenior’s team played at this venue. Considering they only managed one win during this period, my forecast is a low-scoring draw.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Hull City vs Birmingham City prediction: 1-1

Hull City team news
The right-back, Cyrus Christie, will not be able to play in Tuesday’s game due to a tendon injury that has caused him to miss Hull City’s last 11 games.
Head coach Liam Rosenior has no other absentees for the upcoming visit of Birmingham on Tuesday, aside from Ozan Tufan, Alfie Jones, and Aaron Connolly who are each just one yellow card away from suspension.
