Birmingham are unbeaten on their last three trips to Hull
Hull have won just two of their last eight home fixtures
Recommended bet: Birmingham draw no bet
Hull have spent the last three months inside the play-off places but they are coming under pressure as they prepare to take on Birmingham at the MKM Stadium.
Sergej Jakirovic’s side have taken just two points from their last three matches and suffered a major setback last Saturday when conceding two late goals in a 2-1 loss away to Sheffield United.
The Tigers are four points inside the top six but their hopes for a strong finish to the season are being hampered by a long injury list.
Birmingham had been hopeful of pushing for back-to-back promotions but they have struggled to deliver on a consistent enough basis and have been reduced to competing for a top-half finish.
A summer of soul searching may be on the cards for Blues, who snapped a three-game losing streak with last Sunday’s 2-0 win at home to Wrexham.

Prediction
Birmingham are out of the promotion conversation but they are keen to finish strongly and can pick up maximum points against Hull.
Second-tier football has been a learning experience for Blues, who have sustained 13 of their 16 defeats in away matches.
However, Birmingham were worthy 2-0 winners at home to Wrexham last Sunday and they look ready to do some damage to another promotion contender.
Hull have performed above expectations and are looking for another nine points to make absolutely sure of a play-off place.
But the Tigers are suffering from a spate of injuries and they may struggle to avoid a 15th league loss of the campaign.
