Hull City and Stoke City head into Friday’s match needing vital points for very different reasons.
Hull are currently three points adrift of the play-offs, but have a game in hand on the four teams above so are still very much in the race for promotion.
Stoke, meanwhile, are dangerously close to the relegation zone, just two points clear of the bottom three.
Current Form
Hull’s current form
Hull are unbeaten in their last seven games in the Championship, but they have drawn their last four so a better killer instinct in front of goal is required.
In their last game, they drew 2-2 with Leicester.
Stoke’s Current Form
Stoke have been extremely inconsistent this season and their last four games represent a microcosm of that form. They defeated Middlesbrough, then lost against Leeds, then defeated Stoke, then lost against Norwich.
Team News
Hull will be without influential loanee Rory Delap, who hasn’t played since January due to a knee injury. Manager Liam Rosenior recently confirmed that Delap will miss both the Stoke match and the game against Leeds on Easter Monday.
Frank Fielding and Enda Stevens are missing for Stoke.
Scoreline Prediction
If Hull can take confidence from their recent unbeaten run, then they should have more than enough to take all three points at home against Stoke, who have conceded 53 goals in the Championship in 23/24.
Hull 2-0 Stoke.
