• Fixture: Derby County vs Hull City

• Date: Tuesday, 04 November 2025

• Kick-off: 19:45 GMT

• Venue: Pride Park Stadium

Derby have been on fire lately. Three wins in their last five, and they're scoring goals along the way. Hull are no slouches either, with four wins in their last five. This one's going to be a cracker, with both teams looking to attack. Derby's home form's been solid, but Hull's efforts away from home show they're not afraid to travel.

It's going to be tight, but Derby's momentum at home might just edge it. They've got the firepower up top with Morris and Díaz, and their defence has been holding firm. Hull have got the quality to nick a goal or two, but Derby's recent form might just see them through.

Derby have been smashing it recently, it must be said. They've notched up three wins in their last five, and they've only let in one goal at home. They'll be buzzing for this one, especially with the crowd behind them. If they keep that up, they'll be tough to beat. The only blip was that loss to Oxford away, but they bounced back with a win against Norwich. That shows they've got the grit to fight back. With this form, they'll be looking to dominate Hull from the off.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 3-1 vs Sheffield United (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Queens Park Rangers (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs Norwich City (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Oxford United (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Southampton (H)

Hull have also been on a roll. They've enjoyed four wins in their last five, and they've been scoring goals left, right, and centre. They're not messing about, and they'll fancy their chances against anyone. The only draw was against Charlton at home, but they've been smashing it away from home. The home win against Leicester shows they can handle the big boys. They'll be confident, but Derby are a different beast at home.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 2-0 vs Norwich City (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Charlton Athletic (H)

• Win: 2-1 vs Leicester City (H)

• Win: 3-2 vs Birmingham City (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Sheffield United (H)

Derby have had the upper hand recently. They've won four of the last five against Hull, with one game drawn. The most recent clash saw Derby nick a 1-0 win away at Hull. If they can keep that up, they'll be feeling confident going into this one.

• Predicted lineup: Zetterström (GK), Clarke (DF), Sanderson (DF), Langås (DF), Ward (MF), Ozoh (MF), Clark (MF), Forsyth (MF), Agyemang (MF), Díaz (MF), Morris (AT)

With Clarke, Langås, and Sanderson at the back, Derby's defence looks solid. Up front, Morris and Díaz will be looking to exploit any gaps and keep the pressure on Hull.

• Predicted lineup: Pandur (GK), Coyle (DF), Hughes (DF), Egan (DF), Giles (DF), Hadziahmetovic (MF), Slater (MF), Gelhardt (MF), Crooks (MF), Ndala (MF), Joseph (AT)

Hull's back four of Coyle, Giles, Hughes, and Egan will need to be on their toes against Derby's attack. In midfield, Ndala and Hadziahmetovic will be key to breaking up play and feeding the ball to Joseph up top.

• Carlton Morris vs John Egan: This will be a crucial battle between Derby's goal-hungry striker and Hull's solid defender.

• David Ozoh vs Regan Slater: Expect a midfield tussle as Derby's Ozoh tries to control the game against Hull's energetic Slater.

• Bobby Clark (Derby County): Bobby Clark's been a key part of Derby's midfield, driving the team forward and creating chances.

• Joe Gelhardt (Hull City): Joe Gelhardt has been good for Hull recently, and he'll be looking to add to his goal tally against Derby.
