Our prediction for this Championship match:
Sunday’s football game between Hull City and Sunderland will bring down the curtain on day 10 of the new Championship campaign. The Tigers aim to recover from a heavy 4-0 loss to Norwich City and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Black Cats. Talented defender Charlie Hughes is widely expected to return to the starting XI as boss Tim Walter is expected to shuffle his pack this weekend. The likes of Andy Smith, Ryan Longman, Harvey Cartwright, and Timothee Lo-Tutala remain in the treatment room.
The visitors, on the other hand, looked sharp up front in a 2-2 draw with Leeds United before the international break and given Hull City’s attacking potential at home ground, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. You should bear in mind that the two teams played out a thrilling 4-4 draw at Stadium of Light last year. Speaking of the visiting team, all Jenson Seelt, Aji Alese, Niall Huggins, and Ian Poveda remain on the sidelines with injuries.
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.
