Our prediction for this Championship match:
MKM Stadium will host Friday’s Championship game between Hull City and West Bromwich Albion. The Tigers aim to put an end to their four-game winless run, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Baggies. Dimitrios Pelkas should recover in time to face WBA, while all Covil, Sayyadmanesh, Oulad M’Hand, and Baxter remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, defeated Middlesbrough 2-0 at the weekend to keep their playoffs hopes alive. WBA are more of a team than Hull City, and we predict that Carlos Corberan’s troops are going to prove their worth on the field. Since Erik Pieters suffered a knee injury against Boro, Semi Ajayi is widely expected to sneak into the starting XI. Experienced midfielder Marc Albrighton is pushing for a start as well, while all Matt Phillips, Kyle Bartley, and Alex Palmer remain on the sidelines with injuries.
