Championship Pick
Just the one pick tonight in the Championship where we fancy Hull to get the better of Barnsley at the KC Stadium. Both sides are struggling towards the bottom of the section so there is everything to play for, and it could be that recent form and home advantage gives Hull what they need to bank the points and put much needed breathing space between them and the bottom three.
Despite a generally poor season, Hull have now won four and drawn two of their last ten, and are actually unbeaten in seven at home now since before Christmas. That run has seen them beat Brentford, Nott’m Forst and Sheffield United, and share the spoils with Leeds, Reading, Fulham and Derby. Barnsley therefore shouldn’t strike fear into their hearts.
The Tykes won at Birmingham last weekend, but that was only their second win since November, and they are now 2-6-11 in that run, during which time they are 2-2-6 away from home.
Hull can be backed at 19/20 with a number of firms, and that’s long enough to tempt us into a small play in this one.
1pt Hull the beat Barnsley at 19/20
