Hull City vs Burton Albion - The Prospect of Away Goals Overprized

With another international break encompassing the weekend, let's take a trip to the East Riding of Yorkshire and one of the fixtures in League One. On Saturday Hull City host Burton Albion at the KCOM Stadium and I believe the odds market overestimate the prospect of away goals.

I will also be posting some early outlooks on the upcoming Premier League fixtures - you'll find all betting tips in my spreadsheet English Football as per usual.

The Tigers are aiming for a swift return to the Championship after finishing rock bottom last season. Grant McCann put together a large squad in the summer and his team have enjoyed a solid start to the new season, currently residing in 5th place with 21 points from 10 games.

Only Sunderland have conceded fewer shots on target than Hull so far this season, Hull conceding on average 2.70 shots on target per game.
