Coral’s bet of the day
- Abel Hernandez struck in reverse clash win at KC Stadium
- The Hull striker has an impressive 18 goals this season
- He has netted first in his last five successful scoring games
Hernandez 4/1 to open the scoring
Hull City will look to leapfrog Burnley back into the Championship’s top spot with victory over Birmingham City tonight, and as part of Coral’s bet of the day, you can back their main marksman Abel Hernandez to help that cause by opening the scoring at St Andrew’s at 4/1.

Steve Bruce’s trusted frontman has managed to dispatch an impressive 18 goals in all competitions overall this term, and he looks likely of continuing that in his side’s midweek visit to the West Midlands.

Gary Rowett’s Blues enter this match-up with high-flying Hull on the back of just a single Championship victory in their previous five games, with that win coming against relegation strugglers Bolton Wanderers.
Hernandez will be licking his lips in anticipation for his latest outing, and you can potentially gain a tasty profit by backing him to open the scoring over Birmingham at a promising 4/1 as Coral’s bet of the day!
