We said: Hull City 2-0 Cardiff City

Hull will be full of confidence after completing a comeback at the Riverside last time out, so the home supporters at the MKM will be demanding maximum points once again. Cardiff were devoid of ideas in an attacking sense against Birmingham, and we expect the Bluebirds to struggle to deal with the Tigers on Saturday afternoon. Read more.
