Recommended Bet: Derby Draw no Bet
Hull City entertain fellow play‑off contenders Derby County on Tuesday evening in a crucial Championship clash, with both sides looking to bounce back from weekend defeats.
The Tigers were beaten 3‑1 at home by QPR on Saturday, extending their winless run to four matches in all competitions and marking a third straight home setback.
Derby, meanwhile, slipped to a 2‑0 loss at Watford, a result that knocked them out of the top six and down to eighth.
However, John Eustace's side remain only three points off the play‑off places and will head to Hull looking for a third consecutive win at MKM Stadium.

Team news
Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic continues to manage a squad that has lost some key personnel and all their momentum at a crucial stage of the season.
Loanee Yu Hirakawa is the latest to be struck down by the Tigers' injury curse after he limped in the second half of Saturday's defeat with an ankle problem.
The game comes too soon for Semi Ajayi or Matt Crooks to return, while Darko Gyabi, Eliot Matazo, Toby Collyer and Mohamed Belloumi all remain unavailable.
Derby's team news remains largely unchanged from the weekend, but Carlton Morris could step back into the starting XI after he began the Watford match on the bench.
The striker remains joint‑top of their league scoring charts alongside Patrick Agyemang and he will fancy his chances of striking again against Hull, having found the net in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
The stats
Hull are winless in their last six league meetings with Derby (D1 L5).
Derby have gone six consecutive matches without defeat against City, a streak stretching back seven years.
The Rams have won each of their last two away league games against Hull both via 1-0 scorelines and will be looking to claim three away victories in succession in this fixture for the first time.
Derby are unbeaten in their last 11 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league games (W7 D4), conceding just five goals in that run since a 1-0 loss against Sunderland in January 2025.

Prediction
Hull’s form has dipped sharply, and their defensive fragility has become a major concern.
Conceding 10 goals in three games is a worrying trend for a side with promotion ambitions and their inability to turn possession into results highlights a lack of cutting edge at both ends of the pitch.
Derby currently seem to fare better when they do not have the lion's share of possession and will set up to hit Hull on the counter-attack.
The Rams have won six of their last 10 away league trips, including three in their last four and have conceded only three times across their last four road games.
Their record in midweek matches and at the MKM Stadium, where they have won 1-0 on their last two visits, also mark them out as the team to back here.
It should be tight, tense and tactical, but the Rams' defensive structure and superior head‑to‑head form give them enough of an edge to play them in the Draw no Bet market.
