Hull v Derby Betting Preview
The Tigers look to have this tie in the bag pretty much after banking a 3-0 win on the road in the first leg. That is a huge step towards the Championship Play Off Final taken by Steve Bruce’s men. They head back to home soil on Tuesday night just looking to close out the deal, but the question is, is there anything left in this tie for the Rams to get a shot at? It’s a massive ask for the visitors to the KC Stadium on Wednesday night to pull back in his.

Hull v Derby Betting Tips
What a performance it was from Hull in the first leg and now the Tigers are favourites to win promotion to the top flight through the play offs. Steve Bruce’s men look set to head to Wembley now for the Play Off Final and they just need to close out the semi final deal after winning the first 3-0 against the Rams. Striker Abel Hernandez has been in fantastic form lately and he continued his run of form by opening the scoring in the first leg. That was his 22nd goal of the season and his fifth in his last six appearances for the Tigers. He is on top of his game at the moment and can be backed at a price of 8/5 in the anytime goalscorer market to put a goal on the board in the second leg as well. Given the record that Hull put on the board at the KC Stadium over the course of the regular Championship season, it’s hard to see them failing to move ahead here.
Hull lost just the one home game in the Championship in a W15 D7 L1 record this season. Incidentally the only loss that they did suffer at home was against Derby of all teams. The Tigers lost that fixture 2-0 so even if that happened again it wouldn’t be the end of the Play Off World for them. Hull are just one big step closer to getting back up into the English top flight here. Hull scored over an average of two goals per game at home this season and conceded at an average rate of just around 0.5 per game. As they don’t have to go out and bust a lung in this one and were supremely comfortable in the first leg, under 2.5 goals is a quote of 8/11 with Sky Bet. Hull are a backable at a quote of 12/5 to take a win to nil in the second leg as well. Hull have scored exactly two goals in their last two home wins over Derby but they have alternated between a win and loss at home against the Rams in their last four.
Derby probably have blown their chances of getting to the top flight and again look set to suffer some play off heartbreak. Last season they were denied a place in the play offs on the final day of the regular season and in 2014 they lost the Play Off Final in the last minute of the game. Luck’s not their thing it would seem here. It wasn’t until ten minutes from time in the first leg that the Rams even managed to get a shot on target against Hull and everything they did in the game just failed to work. Darren Wassall’s men can’t just roll up and quit already, they have to throw something at this, but on the evidence of the first leg, it’s nowhere near enough. That’s a little strange considering that they won the two regular season games against the Tigers. Out on the road Derby haven’t been at their best having posted a poor W3 D4 L5 record in their twelve away games since December 29th last year. At the end of the day, they were the only side to win at the KC in the regular season and posted a convincing home win over Hull too. But they look a long way from those kind of success and overturning a 3-0 deficit is a big, big ask. Chris Martin is a 2/1 quote in the anytime goalscorer market for the Rams.

Hull v Derby Predictions
The damage has been done in terms of the tie here. This is too much for the Rams to do and Hull don’t have to risk anything at all. So they should be comfortable on the night and as Derby have to try things, they may just get picked off again. Worth running with the Tigers to win the second leg too.
