Our prediction for this Championship match:
Hull City and Queens Park Rangers face each other at MKM Stadium in what is expected to be a close Championship game. The Tigers aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Millwall and a triumph over QPR will could see them escape the danger zone. Both Mohamed Belloumi and Dogukan Sinik remain in the recovery room, while Lewie Coyle is unlikely to feature after picking up an injury in the last league match.
The Hoops, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Championship. QPR aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, but seeing that Hull City are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. The likes of Steve Cook, Lucas Andersen, Karamoko Dembele, and Liam Morrison are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while Algeria forward Rayan Kolli is pushing for a start after scoring the winner as a substitute against Plymouth.
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.
