Our prediction for this Championship match:
Hull City will try to recover from a 1-0 loss to Sunderland when they take on Burnley in the Championship round 11. The Tigers failed to impress in their last league match and they face yet another uphill task against the promotion-chasing Clarets. South Africa international Lyle Foster remains on the sidelines, while both Liam Millar and Kasey Palmer are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
Scott Parker’s men, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday and given Hull City’s poor offensive display against the Black Cats, away win should definitely be considered. Bear in mind, though, that all Hannes Delcroix, Hjalmar Ekdal, and Jordan Beyer are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side. In their last meeting at MKM Stadium Burnley defeated Hull City 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
