Our prediction for this Championship match:
St. Andrew’s Stadium will host Wednesday’s football game between Birmingham City and Hull City, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Championship standings. The Blues aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Middlesbrough and their fine home record of 4-2-0 is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the midweek clash. All Alfie Chang, Lee Buchanan, Keshi Anderson, Ethan Laird, George Hall, and Tyler Roberts are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Tigers, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their four-game winless run in the English second tier, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. Midfielder Harry Vaughan continues to miss out with an ankle injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Hull City):
Hull City are a professional football club that was founded back in 1904. The Tigers used to play their home games at Boothferry Park, but they moved to the KC Stadium in 2002. The stadium capacity is 24,450.
Hull impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and, as a result, they returned to the English Premier League. Hull City fans consider Leeds United their main rivals, but Sheffield United are regarded as Hull’s fierce rivals as well. Steve Bruce took over the reins at the club in 2012 and the experienced tactician helped the team book a place in the 2013/2014 FA Cup final, but Arsenal proved to be a big catch for the Tigers in the title decider.
Hull City finished the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign in 16th place in the standings to achieve their highest ever top flight finish. It has to be noted that Curtis Davies was named the team’s player of the year in the 2013/2014 season.
