My Thoughts:
The Boro are in a desperate rut at the moment. Struggling to score goals, unable to stop them going in, there's no getting away from the fact that they are in big trouble, so much so that even chairman Steve Gibson, with his Zen-like levels of patience must be beginning to think about issuing Gareth Southgate with his P45. And yet, who were the last team The Boro managed to beat? None other than Liverpool, a thoroughly deserved 2-0 victory on February 28th. Since then, however, their only point has come courtesy of a stoppage-time equaliser at home to Portsmouth courtesy of Marlon King, who will be ineligible for Saturday's game, due to his being on loan from Hull. Their home record this season (4-7-4) is better than that of a number of teams above them in the league, but hides the fact that those 15 home games have seen them score just 13 goals, and have only managed 5 clean sheets in those games.
Hull City have failed to live up to the heady heights that they hit earlier in the season, where they managed a memorable 2-1 win away at Arsenal. However, they are still picking up points, particularly away from home (their record of 5-5-5 is the 7th best in the league). Their recent form is draw-laden, the most recent result a 0-0 at home to Portsmouth.
My Thoughts
Neither team is exactly firing on all cylinders right now. At the moment, Boro are poor, but it has to be argued that Hull are not exactly that much better, although The Tigers should have enough to make sure they are playing Premier League football next season. A draw looks the most likely outcome
The Bet
The draw is available at a best price of 12/5 with Blue Square
