Derby have won three in a row in the Championship
Hull will be aiming to build on Saturday's 2-0 success at Norwich
Recommended bet: Derby to win
Derby have taken a while to kick their Championship season into action, but three victories on the bounce mean John Eustace's side are finally moving in the right direction and they will fancy their chances of another success against Hull at Pride Park.
The Tigers have been on a strong run themselves with four wins and a draw in their last five matches, but they are affording their opponents plenty of chances and that could be about to catch up with them.

Team news
Derby are without defender Max Johnton, who looks set to be out until the New Year with a hamstring injury.
Curtis Nelson, Lewis Travis and Owen Beck are also set to be missing for the Rams.
Hull will go into battle at Pride Park with a long injury list that includes Oli McBurnie, Liam Millar, Kasey Palmer, John Lundstram, Akin Famewo, Mohamed Belloumi and Eliot Matazo.
The stats
Derby have won their last three matches, while Saturday's 3-1 win at Sheffield United ended a run of eight consecutive Rams games that featured fewer than three goals.
The Rams have conceded fewer than two goals in each of their last nine Championship games.
Hull have taken 13 points from their last five league matches, but the Tigers’ clean sheet at Norwich on Saturday was only their second since the opening weekend.
Hull’s expected goals against (xGA) figure has been at least 1.5 in six of their last seven league games.

Prediction
Consecutive wins over Norwich, QPR and Sheff Utd have lifted spirits at Derby and the Rams look well equipped to claim another scalp when they entertain Hull on Tuesday.
Their visitors have been piecing together some strong results and head to the East Midlands having posted a 2-0 victory at Norwich on Saturday, but that was against a team who have now won none of their opening six home games of the season, so maybe that can be taken with a pinch of salt.
Hull are allowing their opponents plenty of opportunities, which is demonstrated by their expected goals against (xGA) of 26.1, which is six more than the actual number they have conceded and is comfortably the highest in the second tier despite their standing of seventh in the table.
So, it could be that they are riding their luck and a regression may be on the horizon.
Derby start the night in 17th spot, but they are only three points behind eighth-placed Charlton and they can make a push into mid-table by claiming three points against their Humberside visitors.
