Bristol City vs Hull City predictions, preview and betting tips for tonight’s EFL Cup fixture as the Premier League side look to avoid a shock at Championship side Bristol City.
A place in the quarter-finals is up for grabs for one of these sides as they meet at Ashton Gate in the EFL Cup. We’ve got the best three betting tips for you.
Bristol City scored late on against Blackburn at the weekend to move up to 6th in the table. They have lost just once at home this season – a narrow 1-0 loss to Newcastle. Losing to the leaders is no disgrace and they’ll be hard to beat here at home. They bounced back from a couple of away losses at Cardiff and QPR. Lee Johnson’s side are young and blips can be expected, but his squad certainly has character. Johnson is expected to ring the changes for this match as he keeps one eye on this weekend’s domestic action. Tammy Abraham has been the main event this season and the Chelsea loanee is unlikely to feature here. He’s made a name for himself at this level with his goalscoring prowess, but is without a goal in three. Hull City are struggling and sit 2nd bottom in the Premier League. Mike Phelan’s side got off to the best possible start, but it’s been all downhill since the late 1-0 loss to Manchester United. A disappointing 0-2 loss at home to fellow strugglers Stoke was a poor result this weekend and there is still plenty of disharmony around the KC.
Bristol City vs Hull City Predictions
Bristol City should have enough to get the job done here at home and that’s the focus of our first Bristol City vs Hull City betting tip. They could be worth backing on the outright, but a safer option is put your money on them qualifying. Hull are at 6s and 7s at the back and Phelan is set to hand a start to a 17-year-old in the centre of the defence.

Over/Under 2.5 Goals Tips
Hull have been leaking goals of late and should struggle with a lively Bristol City outfit. The Robins could grab a couple here, but the Tigers have netted in every away game this campaign so my second Bristol City vs Hull prediction is for over 2.5 goals to be scored.

Bristol City vs Hull City Team News
Johnson is set to ring the changes in this match with Abraham set to be rested. Luke Freeman was injured at the weekend and won’t play a part here. Bobby Reid is unlikely to be fit enough. Mark Little, Joe Bryan and Marlon Pack should all get some game time alongside the aforementioned Wilbraham.
There are a number of injuries for Mike Phelan to contend with. Snodgrass has joined the list. Also, on the sidelines is Alex Bruce, Moses Odubajo, Andrew Robertson and Greg Luer. David Marshall is likely to be rested and replaced by Eldin Jakupovic. Diamonde and Hernandez could both start along with 17 year old Josh Tymon is defence.

Hull demolished Bristol City in April on their way to promotion. Curtis Davies and Robert Snodgrass scored in that game, but neither are likely to face the Robins again here. The two meetings prior to that had both finished all square. Bristol City haven’t beaten Hull since 2011, but that was here at Ashton Gate.
