Hull City vs Reading Prediction and Betting Tips

Hull City host Reading at the MKM Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to build on their latest win.

The Tigers fought back from 2-1 down to beat Cardiff City 3-2 in the Welsh capital on Wednesday, courtesy of a late double from Regan Slater.

It was just their seventh win in 20 games and brought them up to 19th place in the league standings with 24 points, moving four clear of the relegation zone.

Reading, meanwhile, have collected only two points more than Hull but sit six places above them, although their form has recently nosedived.

The Royals are winless in their last four games, losing thrice to drop out of the league's top 10. In fact, they have won just once in their last nine clashes.

Having won seven of their opening 11 games, a dramatic decline in form has not only seen their promotion hopes fade, but also the pressure increased on manager Paul Ince.
