Our prediction for this Championship match:
Hull and Watford square off against each other at MKM Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Tigers are a real force to be reckoned with at home, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive win in front of home fans, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Jaden Philogene, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late, while Turkish midfielder Dogukan Sinik remains on the sidelines with a knee injury.
The Hornets, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Leicester, with the team beating Norwich City 3-2 in midweek. Given Watford’s attacking potential, we predict that both sides are going to find the net in the MKM Stadium showdown. The good news for the visiting side is that goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann is back from suspension.
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.
