Hull City vs Charlton Predictions

• Hull have lost 9 of their last 11 league games.
• Over 2.5 goals has landed in 8 of the hosts’ last 10 games.
• Charlton have seen over 2.5 goals in 67% of their trips.

Form to Fear

Hull were said to be one of the sides who didn’t want to return to action this season and it’s not hard to see why. The Tigers have failed to win in their last 11 matches, dropping like a stone into the relegation battle.

Hull return fourth from bottom, while their opponents were desperate to return. Charlton fell into the bottom three for the first time just before the league was put on hold. Fearing a premature relegation, they want to get back on stable ground.

Both sides have tumbled down the league in 2020, but who will pull themselves away from danger here?

Hull’s Troubles

Hull come into this one with the worst record over the last eight games, securing just two points in that time. With nine losses in their last 11, the club now have the worst home record in the Championship. They are also one of the worst sides defensively, shipping 13 goals across their last three games.

The Tigers have been left with huge problems to deal with, which started with January’s departure of Jarrod Bowen. The winger was a key part of their side before making the switch to West Ham, while they’ve failed to win since 2018 without him in the side. If they can’t shake that run before the end of the season, Hull are in trouble.

Defensive Issues

Charlton have troubles of their own this term, having conceded 1.7 goals per away game, conceding in 89% of their trips so far. Lee Bowyer’s men are in need of a boost, which could have fallen into their lap with a clash against a Hull outfit who have conceded 1.7 goals per home games.

This is a Hull side who are no strangers to a high scoring game. The hosts have seen over 2.5 goals in 63% of their home games, while it’s landed in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions. Charlton have seen the same in 67% of their trips, so we are going with goals in our predictions. Over 2.5 is our tip, given the state of both defences.

With Hull on a run of 10 defeats from 12 games in all competitions, we think that a Charlton win is a real possibility here. The Addicks are desperate for the points themselves and they could land a crucial away win. However, they’ve drawn more than they’ve won on the road so our correct score prediction is a 2-2 draw.
