Our prediction for this Championship match:
Hull City
Match Time & Date:
18/08/2018
11:00 am
Prediction: 2-1
Blackburn Rovers
Hull City and Blackburn Rovers face each other at KCOM Stadium on day 3 of the new Championship campaign. Hull City suffered a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa in their opener, but they managed to hold Sheffield Wednesday to a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough Stadium at the weekend. The Tigers are now eager to record their first win of the season and we predict that they will fight tooth and nail against Blackburn Rovers. A man to watch in the home team will be experienced attacker Fraizer Campbell, who found the net in the 1-1 draw with the Owls on Matchday 2. The Riversiders, on the hand, shared the spoils with the likes of Ipswich Town and Millwall in the first two games of the season, but we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Hull City’s party at KCOM Stadium.
