Hull City vs Burnley Prediction: Burnley will aim to continue their unbeaten streak in the Championship

On Wednesday night, Burnley will aim to continue their unbeaten streak in the Championship as they visit the MKM Stadium to face Hull City. This season, the Clarets have been exceptional and appear to be on track for promotion in May, while the Tigers are satisfied with the progress they've made since the start of the campaign.

Hull City’s Form

On Saturday afternoon, Hull secured a respectable point at Coventry City, with Oscar Estupinan from Colombia scoring the first goal for the visitors. However, Coventry's Matt Godden equalised in the second half, and Hull had to endure long periods without possession. Nevertheless, the team's defensive strength, instilled by Liam Rosenior, prevented Coventry's powerful attack from scoring. Hull is not involved in the race for the playoffs or battling relegation, so fans may be relieved after a difficult start to the season. Hull's upcoming match against Burnley is an opportunity for them to play without pressure, and with the possibility of finishing in the top half, the players are likely excited to face a top-tier team at home.

Hull City’s possible starting lineup

Estupinan, Pelkas, Slater, Tufan, Seri, Simons, Elder, McLoughlin, Jones, Coyle and Darlow

Burnley’s Form

On Saturday afternoon, Burnley secured a convincing 3-0 victory over relegation-threatened Wigan Athletic, continuing their march towards a place in the Premier League. As has been the case in many of their home fixtures at Turf Moor, the Clarets appeared to be in complete control throughout the game, and the first-half red card for Omar Rekik only made their triumph even more straightforward. Nathan Tella, on loan from Southampton, scored two goals to bring his total for the season to 14, while January signing Lyle Foster netted his first goal since joining from Belgian club Westerlo. Burnley's unbeaten run in the Championship now stands at 16 games, and their form overall is extremely impressive. The team has responded well since their relegation from the top flight in May and are almost certain to avoid a playoff trip to London this season. However, they could still make a Wembley appearance in the FA Cup, with a quarter-final clash against Manchester City on Saturday presenting a tough challenge for Kompany's charges.

Burnley’s predicted lineup

Barnes, Zaroury, Tella, Vitinho, Cullen, Gudmundsson, Maatsen, Beyer, Ekdal, Roberts and Muric

Hull City vs Burnley expert tips

Hull City aims to secure a top-half position in the Championship for the first time since the 2015-16 season, however, they are up against an undefeated Burnley team. Burnley was able to effortlessly defeat a 10-man Wigan on Saturday, indicating that Kompany's squad will likely have enough energy to deliver another dominating performance at the MKM Stadium. Our forecast for the game is that it will conclude with a Burnley win, and fewer than 2.5 goals will be scored.
