Our prediction for this Championship match:
MKM Stadium will be the centre of attention when Hull City and Blackburn Rovers lock horns in the Championship round 19. The Tigers are running down a blind alley at the moment and given their five-game losing run in the league, home win should not be considered. To make things even worse for the home side, their injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Alzate, Belloumi, Cartwright, Lo-Tutala, Millar, Rushworth, and Zambrano.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, have found their best form of late, with the team beating promotion hopefuls Leeds United and Middlesbrough in the last two league games. Midfielder Lewis Travis is banned for the match, while the likes of Carter, Gilsenan, Sigurdsson, Weimann, and Wharton remain on the sidelines with injuries. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Blackburn Rovers have been in a much better form of late than Hull City.
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.
