Burnley v Hull City Odds and Match Preview

Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Wednesday 12th February 2025

Promotion-chasing Burnley will be going all-out to extend their 20-match unbeaten run across competitions when they entertain Hull City at Turf Moor in tonight’s Championship clash.

In the mix

After 31 rounds of league fixtures, Burnley sit in third position in the Championship table. Following their relegation from the Premier League, the Clarets were expected by many to dominate the Championship this term and while this hasn’t been the case, they are very much in the mix for automatic promotion back up to the top-flight. Indeed, Burnley have lost just twice whilst on league duty this season – less than any other second tier outfit – and with just nine goals conceded along the way – far less than any other Championship side – they will be confident of keeping Hull City at bay this evening, especially since they have managed ten clean sheets from their last eleven competitive outings.

Avoid the drop

With just 29 points collected from their 30 league outings, Hull City sit third from bottom in the Championship standings with goal difference separating them from 21st-placed Derby County. Despite taking an early lead against Stoke City at the weekend, the Tigers were ultimately condemned to their 15th league defeat of the campaign and they clearly need to turn things around in order to avoid the drop.

Team Form

Burnley: The Clarets have been enjoying some strong form this season across competitions, having recently secured a 1-0 victory over Premier League strugglers Southampton in the FA Cup last time out, new signing Marcus Edwards scoring on his debut. In the Championship, Burnley currently sit in third place, three points behind the automatic promotion spots.
Hull City: Hull City are currently battling relegation, the Tigers positioned in the bottom three in the league standings. Despite their league position, they have achieved notable results recently, including a 3-0 away win against Sheffield United.

Key Players to Watch

Burnley: Marcus Edwards made an immediate impact with a goal on his debut and will certainly be a player to watch here.
Hull City: Midfielder Xavier Simons has been influential of late, contributing goals and assists in recent matches.

Engaging encounter

While Burnley will be going all-out to strengthen their promotion bid, Hull City will be eager to secure points to distance themselves from relegation threats. Given Hull’s recent performances against top teams, this fixture promises to be an engaging encounter but all things considered, we’ll be siding with the hosts to edge what looks set to be a low-scoring encounter.
