Hull City vs Peterborough United Prediction
The fact that both sides are struggling for form means they will play with extra caution to avoid dropping points to a direct relegation rival.
The two managers are likely to prioritize not losing rather than trying to win and this could translate into a low-scoring game of few chances. We are predicting a share of the spoils with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Hull City 1-1 Peterborough
