Hull v Middlesbrough Match Preview
If you are looking for new manager bounce, you will not have to look much further than the rebound on show at Hull’s MKM Stadium – one that has been overseen since the recent installation of Ruben Selles.
Selles, who before taking the post on Humberside was previously at League One outfit Reading, has certainly adjusted to his new surroundings in double quick time and when looking at the first six games under his stewardship, the Tigers have picked up seven points from 18 on offer.
Although bigger hauls have been picked up by arguably better managers, those seven points help make up Hull’s total of 22 and with just under a third of all collected coming under the watchful eye of the also former Southampton boss, his input should not be underestimated.
Especially as his Hull charges picked up a surprise win at promotion-chasing Blackburn at the weekend and with Ryan Longman’s goal silencing Ewood Park with 13 minutes remaining, that sole strike of the afternoon would be enough to earn three massively important points.
Massively important because it means that Hull go into 2025 sitting outside of the bottom three and as there is an element of momentum attached to the club, the last thing that Selles and his players will want to be is back in the relegation zone once the New Year’s Day activity comes to an end.
Activity that sees Middlesbrough make the relatively short trip to the MKM Stadium and with Michael Carrick’s men ending the year while sitting sixth in the Championship table, they do so by goal difference alone.
The reason that goal difference has become the sole tiebreaker between Middlesbrough and Watford as 2024 comes to a close is because of Boro’s failure to close out games and turn draws into victories.
Each of Boro’s last three have ended with the points being shared, that figure increases to four when looking at their last six and it is these missteps that have seen the rest of the promotion pack gain an advantage over the Riverside Stadium outfit in the past few weeks.
Their last outing saw them play out a home bore draw with Burnley and although it can be considered as a good point in the context of the Clarets’ own league placing, their promotion hopes would have been boosted if they could have earned all three.
But now it is time for the first of my two tips and because of Hull’s conversion to good fortune being added to a home crowd, I think Ruben Selles’ men will get something from this. Therefore. I am backing Hull in the double chance and under 2.5 goals in a bet builder at odds of 2/1 with bet365.
In addition to this, I also like the look of Hull getting their noses in front by the break only for Middlesbrough to eventually earn a fourth successive draw. This means, a home half-time win, and the full-time stalemate can also be backed at odds of 15/1 with BetVictor.
