Our prediction for this Championship match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sunderland, Hull City will look to climb to the playoffs berth when they take on Millwall on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers defended well in the Stadium of Light triumph and they are surely capable of matching Millwall in front of home fans. Both Adama Traore and Jean Michael Seri are on international duty, while the likes of Aaron Connolly, Liam Delap, Jaden Philogene, and Dogukan Sinik are out of contention through injuries.
The Lions, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Middlesbrough and Queens Park Rangers, while sharing the spoils with Preston. The capital club do not seem to be at their sharpest and given Hull City’s fine performance in the triumph over the Black Cats, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. All Aidomo Emakhu, Shaun Hutchinson, and Ryan Leonard are out of contention through injuries for the away team.
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.
