Hull City vs Blackburn Rovers Prediction: Important game for both the teams

Hull City will welcome Blackburn Rovers at KCOM Stadium in Game Week 19 of the English Championship. Its an important game for both the teams. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Hull City form

Hull City would seek to end their disappointing form and get out of relegation in the Championship on Saturday as they face the next opposition. Having finished the campaign at seventh place last term, The Tigers now stand at 22nd with only 15 points after 18 matches played. They had a good spell in September and October where they won three consecutive matches, but since then have only managed to pick up three more points from their last 10 games.

Their recent form has led to the sacking of manager Tim Walter after a 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, with Andy Dawson stepping in as interim manager. Their fortunes did not improve as they suffered a 3-1 loss against Middlesbrough last weekend. Hull City now find themselves without a league win in over two months and are in the bottom three of the Championship, just two points away from safety.

At MKM Stadium, on Saturday, the team will look for changes in their fortunes by posting the much-needed victory that propels the campaign up the table.

Blackburn Rovers Form

They play host this weekend to a side facing them, and they desperately need their fourth consecutive victory from the Championship to make good their playoff chances. Blackburn Rovers showed some improvement under the management of John Eustace throughout this season, currently at position eight with 28 points from 17 games. At the end of October and starting November, they dropped by three consecutive losses but were up and running again with wins against Cardiff City and Middlesbrough. Their latest victory against Leeds United further showed how eager and resilient they were going into the game. With three victories in succession and a growth in confidence, Blackburn Rovers will be looking to keep that run going and move themselves closer to a playoff spot on Saturday when they host Hull City.

Blackburn Rovers Predicted Lineup

Pears; Brittain, Hyam, Batth, Pickering; Tronstad, Travis; Dolan, Gueye, Beck; Ohashi
