Our prediction for this Championship match:
Tuesday’s football game at MKM Stadium pits together Hull City and Birmingham City, the two sides who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Tigers are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and they are seen as favourites to win the midweek clash. Aaron Connolly faces race against the clock to be fit for Tuesday’s game, while Liam Delap remains on the sidelines with a knee injury.
The Blues, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run on the road, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Hull City this time out. To make things even worse for the visiting team, defender Dion Sanderson is banned for the match, while Krystian Bielik has yet to overcome his injury. Marc Roberts is a major doubt and the 33-year-old will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
