Hull City 
Norwich City Form Check: Hull Treading Water, Norwich Showing Bite
Hull City have picked up one point from their last three Championship matches, and it's hard to dress that up. A 1-2 loss at Charlton follows draws at Leicester and at home to Birmingham, with Jakiroviฤ's side conceding seven goals across those five games. They're seventh on 70 points, home record decent enough on paper with ten wins, but the recent trajectory is worrying at exactly the wrong time of season.
Norwich arrive at the MKM Stadium in a different headspace. Philippe Clement's side have won three of their last five, including a 4-2 win at Bristol City and a 2-1 away victory at Millwall. Yes, they dropped points at home to Swansea last time out, but nine goals scored in five matches tells you the attacking intent is there. They sit ninth with 65 points, five behind Hull, and a goal difference of +8 compared to Hull's +3 suggests they've been sharper over the course of the campaign.
Team News
Hull have confirmed absences for Liam Millar, Eliot Matazo, and Belloumi, with all three missing this fixture. Losing any squad depth at this stage of the season hurts, and Jakiroviฤ will need his senior attacking options to step up. McBurnie leads the line with 15 goals and 7 assists in 36 appearances, while Gelhardt has 14 goals to his name across 38 games. Hull's firepower is real, but the spine of the side is being tested.
Norwich head into this one with no injury concerns, which is a meaningful edge. Clement can pick from a full squad, and the form of Mamadou Tourรฉ stands out: 8 goals in just 10 appearances. That's an elite return at Championship level. Makama has 10 goals in 28 games and Sargent chips in with 7 from 23. Norwich have options and legs going into the final stretch.
Head-to-Head
The recent head-to-head record is close to split down the middle, but the swing in quality between meetings is notable. Hull won 2-0 at Carrow Road in November 2025, a result that will give them confidence. Before that, in February 2025, the sides drew 1-1 at the MKM. Go back further and Norwich hammered Hull 4-0 in October 2024 and won 2-1 at Hull's ground in January 2024. This fixture doesn't follow a tidy pattern, but what stands out is that when one side is up, the other tends to get punished.
The Betting Angle
Hull's home form looks solid on the season stats, ten wins at the MKM, but the last few weeks tell a different story. One draw in three home games, a stuttering attack in recent outings, and three players unavailable. Norwich, by contrast, have a full squad, genuine goal threats across the pitch, and momentum from back-to-back wins on the road this season.
The value here is on Norwich. They're the sharper side right now, Clement has clearly got them playing with structure and punch, and Hull look like a team running on fumes as the season winds down. A draw isn't out of the question given the H2H, but the directional form points away from a comfortable Hull win.
Odds: 2.06 โ PMU (FR)
Norwich have won three of their last five, carry no injury concerns, and have attacking firepower that Hull's depleted squad will struggle to contain. Hull are winless in three and shipping goals regularly, making this a solid away win play at the MKM.
