Our prediction for this Championship match:
Hull City and Plymouth face each other at MKM Stadium in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Tigers made a promising start to the season, with the team suffering only one defeat in the process and a win over Plymouth will see them stay in the playoffs berth. Midfielder Greg Doherty remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Pilgrims, meanwhile, continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels. Plmouth are on a three-game losing run on the road and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Hull City’s party at MKM Stadium. A man to watch in the away team will be talented forward Morgan Whittaker, who scored a hat-trick in a 6-2 crushing of Norwich City at the weekend. Head coach Steven Schumacher has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Yorkshire.
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.
