Expert Betting Tips
Burnley is considered the clear favorite for the upcoming match. We disagree, as the team of Vincent Kompany has not yet shown any surprises in the Championship matches. In addition, Hull City is located above the Clarets, sitting second in the table. We believe that, like in the last two h2h encounters, the Tigers will be able to score. This option is offered at fairly high odds. That said, you should expect a draw and goals by both clubs.
