Our prediction for this Championship match:
All eyes will be on MKM Stadium when Hull City and Fulham face each other in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Tigers failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Derby County, with the team dropping to 19th place in the standings. Hull City are safe for now, but they will have to be at their sharpest in the remainder of the season if they are to secure the Championship survival.
All Andy Cannon, Josh Emmanuel, Mallik Wilks, and Callum Elder should miss out with injuries for the home side. The Cottagers, on the other hand, moved one step closer to securing automatic promotion by beating Millwall 3-0 in their last league match. The league leaders are eyeing their ninth away win of the process, and they should take advantage of Hull City’s current form. Defender Kenny Tete should be the only absentee in the away side.
Highlighted Player (Callum Elder):
Callum Elder is an Australia international who plays for Hull City in the League One. Elder started his youth career at Manly United, but in 2011 he was spotted by Leicester City scouts. Despite being a Leicester City player from 2013 to 2019, he did not see any game action with the Foxes in the Premier League.
Callum Elder played for the likes of Mansfield Town, Peterborough United, Brentford, Barnsley, Wigan Athletic, and Ipswich Town before signing a three-year contract with the Tigers for an undisclosed fee. Speaking of his international career, the pacey left-back has one cap with the Australia U20 team.
Elder’s favourite position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a centre-back as well. Elder wears the No. 3 jersey at Hull City, and he is an athletic full-back who likes getting up and down the left-hand side. The Australian player was born on January 27, 1995.
Highlighted Team (Fulham):
Fulham are a club from London that play in the Premier League. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition, but managed to return in season 2018/2019.
Fulham were founded in 1879 and they play their home matches at Craven Cottage. Fulham are the oldest-established club from the English capital to have played in the top flight.
Fulham finished the 2008/2009 Premier League campaign in seventh place in the standings and that is considered the team’s biggest success, speaking of their participation in the Premier League.
The Cottagers played in the Europa League twice and they did well to reach the FA Cup final in 1975, but they were beaten by their local rivals West Ham United in the title game (0-2). Chelsea are regarded as Fulham’s bitter rivals as well and the two teams take on each other in the North London derby.
