Under 2.5 Goals • 1.93

Recent years haven’t been all that great for the Tigers, with this season a real disappointment. However, signs of progress are clear, with Nigel Adkins guiding his men towards safety after some improved form of late.
The Swans have had mixed results throughout the campaign, but they’ve never been far from the top six. They are currently ninth, a position they could boost with a few good results over Christmas.
The hosts are fresh from a 2-0 win over Brentford at home last weekend. it’s their third shut-out in their last four matches at this ground. That’s something which stands them in good stead, as Swansea are hardly an elite attacking unit.

Under 2.5 Goals • 1.93

The visitors have averaged less than a goal per game on the road this season, failing to score in 45% of their away trips in the Championship. Hull are stepping up their defensive form, but they’ve averaged just 0.8 goals per game at home this season, which suggests this will be a close game. Swansea have one of the league’s best defences, conceding just 0.91 goals per game on the road, with under 2.5 goals landing in over half of their games. Given that under 2.5 has come in 82% of Hull’s home matches, it seems really well priced here.
