Our prediction for this Championship match:
Saturday’s football game at MKM Stadium pits together Hull City and Cardiff City, the two promotion-chasing sides. The Tigers aim to build on a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough and a triumph over Cardiff should see them climb to the playoffs berth. Turkey midfielder Ozan Tufan is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in the midweek triumph, while Dogukan Sinik has yet to overcome a knee injury.
The South Wales outfit, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Birmigham City, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home team. Perry Ng has joined the likes of Aaron Ramsey and Callum ODowda in the recovery room, with Mahlon Romeo likely to step up. You should bear in mind that Hull City emerged triumphant in each of their last four meetings with Cardiff City in the English second tier.
Highlighted Player (Aaron Ramsey):
Aaron Ramsey is a Welsh football player born on the 26th of December in Caerphilly. Ramsey started his football career playing for Cardiff City. After 2 seasons playing for Cardiff City Ramsey got transferred to Arsenal for a unknown transfer fee. After playing for a loan for Nottingham Forrest and Cardiff City Ramsey returned to Arsenal in 2011.
Aaron Ramsey made his debut for the Welsh national team in 2008 and is one of the youngest players in the history of Welsh football. Ramsey is currently one of the most talentful midfielders of his generation. Because of his dribbling skills, vision and great passes and being two-footed Ramsey is known for being a player that dominates the midfield.
Despite several injuries in his still young career Ramsey managed to win the FA cup and the Community Shield twice with Arsenal. Ramsey is called Rambo by his fans. Ramsey and Gareth Bale are the biggest strength of the Welsh national team which will play in the EURO 2016 for the first time in history.
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.
