Hull City vs Norwich: match preview
Hull currently have every chance of sneaking into the Championship play-off places. The Tigers have 70 points after 45 rounds and sit seventh in the table. They trail sixth place only on tie-breakers. That means Hull City must win this encounter to keep alive their hopes of reaching the play-offs. However, results have been disappointing, with the side now winless in six consecutive matches. They need to end that run if they are to have any chance at all.
Norwich are not far below them in the standings, but they are no longer fighting for anything in this campaign. The Canaries have 65 points after 45 rounds and occupy ninth place in the table. They are five points behind sixth place, which means this will be their final game of the season with no real motivation at stake. Their recent form has been solid, though, as Norwich are unbeaten in their last three matches with one draw and two wins, but it has come too late.
Projected lineups
- Hull City: Pandur; Coyle, Ajayi, Egan, Giles; McNair, Lundstram; Gelhardt, Crooks, Millar; McBurnie
- Norwich City: Kovacevic; Stacey, Darling, Cordoba, Fisher; Mattsson, McLean; Maghoma, Slimane, Ahmed; Toure
Prediction
Hull must do everything possible to win, even if their current form has been far from convincing. Norwich may lack motivation, but I believe they can still find their moment in the match. My suggested bet is both teams to score.
