Despite a rather curious form recently, Hull have a good opportunity to be victorious in round 7 of the Championship season. They meet Cardiff on Saturday at the The MKM Stadium, where they hope to frustrate the visitors.

Hull approach round 7 as number 16 in the Championship table with six points on their account so far. With six rounds behind them, Cardiff have amassed one points, placing them as number 24 in the standings.

The last time Hull played Cardiff, they booked three points to their account and look well primed to secure another win on Saturday.

Hull vs Cardiff Prediction

Hull Form

Hull suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches, as they were run over by Leeds in a 2-0 defeat. Sheffield United also proved too hard to handle, as they won 0-2, before Hull were able to strike back last time out in a 1-3 win against Stoke. Hull claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Championship, which also saw them drawing four and losing one matches, in which they scored nine and conceded eight goals.

Qualification for an international tournament is the ideal scenario Hull hope to accomplish by the end of the season, but everything needs to click for this to happen.

Cardiff Form

Cardiff endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 0-2 by Middlesbrough, before Derby ran out 1-0 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Leeds, who came out 0-2 winners. Cardiff only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Championship. In these six matches they drew one and lost four as well as being outscored by 15 goals to five.

Hull go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in an international competition.

Hull and Cardiff are mostly leaning towards matches shy on goals, as it seems that not conceding is more important than attempting to score. This indicates a close encounter is on the menu on Saturday.

Hull won one points from their last one encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won zero, scored one and let in one goals. Hull have a record of one win, three draws and two defeats in the Championship this season. Cardiff enjoy a record of zero wins, one draw and five defeats in the Championship.
