Prediction: 0-1
Middlesbrough
Hull City and Middlesbrough take on each other at KCOM Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Saturday’s program. The Tigers aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to the likes of Wigan Athletic and Reading, whereas the Boro want to climb top position in the standings with a victory over Hull City. Nigel Adkins’ men did well to beat Ipswich Town in their last home game in the Championship and that is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Middlesbrough. The Boro did well to keep a clean sheet in previous two league fixtures, but seeing that they need a win in order to overtake Leeds United in top position in the Championship table, the visitors are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s football match. Middlesbrough are more of a team than Hull City and, taking everything into account, away win should be considered.

Highlighted Team (Middlesbrough):
Middlesbrough are a professional football club that have been balancing between the top two divisions of England’s league system in the modern history. Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well. Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2). However, the Riverside Stadium outfit did remarkably well to win the League Cup trophy in 2004, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers in the final. George Boateng, Stewart Downing, Juninho Paulista, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Tuncay Sanli and Hamilton Ricard are the star footballers who left their mark at Middlesbrough.
