Blackburn vs Hull Prediction and Betting Tips for this Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 15:00 GMT. The game takes place at Ewood Park in Blackburn. You can find the Latest Championship Predictions right here.
The home side currently sits in 22nd place while the visitors occupy a strong 4th position in the league. Blackburn has struggled lately with only 2 points from 5 matches. Hull City is flying high with 12 points from their last 5 fixtures in the Championship.
Blackburn Rovers enter this Saturday afternoon clash needing a massive performance to lift themselves out of the bottom three. Still, they have managed to stay unbeaten in their last 2 home games at Ewood Park. The local fans are hoping that this slight improvement at home continues today.
The stats show that goalscoring has been a real issue lately. Blackburn failed to score in 2 of their last 5 league fixtures which is worrying. They will rely heavily on Andri Guðjohnsen who has netted 7 times this season to find a breakthrough against a tough defense.
Discipline might be a factor for the hosts as well. Sondre Tronstad has already collected 8 cards this season while playing significant minutes. If the match becomes heated we might see the referee busy because both teams have players who are not afraid of a strong tackle on the pitch.
Hull City travels to Ewood Park in fantastic spirits and currently sits 4th in the standings. They have the best away record in the competition with 1.71 points per game. That said, the Tigers are on an impressive 6 match unbeaten streak when playing away from home.
Oliver McBurnie has been the standout performer for the visitors with 11 goals so far. Hull has scored in 13 consecutive away matches which shows how dangerous they are on the counter attack. Even so, they need to stay focused to keep this momentum going forward.
The Tigers do play with a lot of aggression which is reflected in their card count. They average 2.86 cards per match which suggests they could get into trouble. To win this they must balance their intensity with composure according to the Latest Championship Predictions available for this game.

Hull City contributes significantly too because they average 4.21 corners on their travels. This combined average of 10.21 corners per match makes the over 9.5 line look very attractive for bettors looking at the total corner market statistics today.
