Hull City form

Hull was on track to achieve five consecutive away wins for the first time since 1966 with a potential victory against Preston at Deepdale over the weekend. However, they were only able to secure a point against Ryan Lowe's team, who are on the verge of breaking into the top-six as the season nears its end. Despite winning three successive games against Rotherham United, Huddersfield Town, and Southampton, Hull's playoff position was secured. Subsequent draws against West Bromwich Albion and Preston have allowed them to stay ahead of the other teams vying for promotion. With a crucial match against Birmingham looming, Hull's squad knows the significance of Tuesday's game for their promotion ambitions, as they are currently just one point ahead of Norwich City in seventh place. While Hull's attacking players like Jaden Philogene and Fabio Carvalho have attracted attention this season, Liam Rosenior has also made significant improvements to the team's defense, led by defenders Jacob Greaves and Alfie Jones. The team previously faced Birmingham during an FA Cup third-round match on January 6, which ended in a draw and necessitated a replay in Birmingham ten days later.

Hull City Predicted Lineup

Allsopp; Coyle, Jones, Greaves, Giles; Morton, Seri, Zaroury, Carvalho, Philogene; Sharp

Birmingham City form

Birmingham suffered a last-minute defeat at St Andrew's against Southampton, with substitute Joe Aribo scoring the winning goal. Under interim manager Mark Venus, Birmingham has now lost two consecutive games and are facing a tough battle against relegation. Despite initially leading 2-1 at halftime, Southampton came back in the second half to secure a 3-2 victory. Birmingham's lackluster performances under different managers have put them at risk of being relegated to League One. Even though they are currently in 20th place, they are level on points with the bottom three teams. Birmingham's poor away record further indicates the challenges they are facing in the Championship.

Ruddy; Laird, Drameh, Aiwu, Buchanan; Dozeel, Paik, Miyoshi, Bacuna, James; Stansfield
