Hull City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction: Huddersfield are four points from safety

Hull City will welcome Huddersfield Town at MKM Stadium in Game Week 16 of the English Championship. The away side is just four points away from the relegation zone and needs some victory to move to mid-table. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Hull City will aim to rebound from a disappointing loss last weekend as they return to the MKM Stadium on Saturday. Under the guidance of manager Liam Rosenior, they have enjoyed a strong start to the Championship season. Currently sitting in ninth place with 23 points from 15 matches, they narrowly missed out on the top six on goal difference prior to their visit to West Bromwich Albion. The team secured consecutive wins against Birmingham City and Preston North End in late October, but their hopes of climbing into the playoff spots were dashed in their last game at the Hawthorns Stadium. Despite Lewie Coyle's equalizer, goals from Matt Phillips and Semi Ajayi led to a 3-1 victory for the hosts. Though the defeat dropped Hull City to ninth, they remain just two points behind Preston North End in sixth place. They will be eager to bounce back and strengthen their bid for a playoff position this weekend.

Huddersfield Town form

They will face a Huddersfield Town team who are currently struggling in their battle at the lower end of the division. However, they did achieve a more positive result in their last game. Since Darren Moore took charge in September, Huddersfield has only managed one win and seven points from eight Championship games. Their only victory came in a 2-1 win against Queens Park Rangers last month. Unfortunately, they were not able to build on that success and suffered two consecutive losses, conceding eight goals in the process. They were thrashed 4-0 by Cardiff City and then beaten 4-1 by local rivals Leeds United. Despite a late consolation goal from Michal Helik, their confidence took a hit and their lead over the bottom three was reduced. Last weekend, they played out a goalless draw against Watford, which provided some positives for them to take into their upcoming game. Huddersfield Town will be looking to return to winning ways and increase their four-point lead over the relegation zone.

Nicholls; Pearson, Helik, Lees; Edwards, Hogg, Wiles, Nakayama; Thomas, Hudlin, Headley

Hull City vs Huddersfield Town Expert Tips

Hull City is eager to recover from their recent loss, and although Huddersfield displayed resilience in their surprising home victory against Watford, we predict that they may struggle to hold off the formidable Tigers squad at the MKM Stadium. This is particularly evident when considering Huddersfield's extensive list of injured players. Expect the home side to win in a low scoring game.
