Hull City suffered a 1-0 loss to Swansea City in their last game to extend their winless run to three straight games. They have managed one win in their previous six games, three in their last 18 home games in all competitions. They have the worst home record this season with just 20 points in their 21 games at home, and their fans are already tired of their poor show at their home ground. The Tigers sit 20th on the table with 45 points in 43 games, scoring 41 goals and conceding 51. They are just a stone's throw to the relegation zone, as they are just two points off the danger zone. They can’t avoid losing any game till the end of the season if they don’t want to find themselves in the lower division next season. Hull will still face Derby County and Portsmouth in their remaining game of the season.

Preston North End: Form and statistics
Preston North End are still not safe from relegation, but they appear to be in a better position to escape it. They are 17th on the table with 49 points in 43 games, scoring 44 goals and conceding 53. The Lilywhites are six points off the relegation zone with three games left to be played in the season. They need four points in these games to be sure of safety, regardless of the results from other fixtures in the league. The Invincibles are winless in their last six games and have won only once in their previous ten. They are also winless in their last five games on the road. If they genuinely want to avoid the relegation struggle, they will need to improve their result in the three games remaining this season.

Hull City vs Preston North End match prediction 21 April 2025
Both sides are currently in the relegation zone, which is why I think this game is going to be tough for both sides, but the head-to-head trend and the recent forms of both sides point to a less productive match here. So, I expect this game to see fewer than three goals.
Our second betting tip for this match is to see fewer than three goals at 1.66 on Bet365.
Our betting tip for the match is a Swansea win at 2.35 odds on 1xbet.
Our final prediction for this match is Both Teams To Score-NO for 1.82 odds on Betway.
