Prediction: 3-2
Hull City
Sheffield Wednesday take on Hull City at their Hillsborough Stadium in what is expected to be a very interesting game. The Owls suffered a 3-2 loss to Wigan Athletic on the road in the opening match of the season and, no doubt, they aim to give fans some cheer. However, you should bear in mind that the hosts will be without Atdhe Nuhiu against Hull City as the attacker was sent off in the defeat to the Latics. In his absence, a man to watch in the home team will be Italian international Forestieri, who opened his goal-scoring account at the weekend. The Tigers, on the other hand, are not regarded as good travelers, which is the main reason why we believe they are going to return home empty-handed from the trip to Sheffield. In their last meeting in the Championship the Owls recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Hull City.

Glenn Loovens is the son of Hans Loovens, who used to play for FC Twente in the past. Unlike his father, Glenn started his senior career at Feyenoord and it has to be noted that he played 27 league games for de Trots van Zuid. The right-footed defender played for the likes of Excelsior, De Graafschap and Cardiff City on loan between 2003 and 2006 and then he decided to sign a permanent deal with the Welsh outfit.
After playing 67 games for the Bluebirds, he joined Celtic on 16 August, 2008 and it has to be noted that he scored 8 goals in 61 appearances for the Hoops in the Scottish Premier League. In 2012 he moved to Spain, signing a deal with Zaragoza and he played 21 games for the La Romareda outfit in La Liga.

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.
