Our prediction for this Championship match:
Blackburn Rovers
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 2-1
Hull City
Riverside Stadium will be the center of attention when Blackburn Rovers and Hull City square off against each other in the Championship round 3. The Riversiders have been involved in some high-scoring games at the start of the season and we predict that they will stick to their attacking style of play in upcoming fixtures. A man to watch in the away team will be Ireland international Sammie Szmodics, who scored a brace in a 2-2 draw with Rotherham Town, while both Arnor Sigurdsson and Jack Vale are out of contention with injuries.
The Tigers, meanwhile, on the other hand, produced a fine offensive display in a 4-2 win over Sheffield Wednesday, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on over 2.5 goals. Blackburn, though, are closer to picking up all three points from the match than Hull City, who often struggle on the travels. Midfielder Greg Docherty misses out with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting side.
