"The Tigers have failed in their preparation for the season! Hull City vs Bristol City Prediction
One of the matches in the opening round will take place at the MKM Stadium, where Hull City will host Bristol City. Here is a prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Hull City
The "Tigers" were in the hunt for a playoff spot until the final round last season, but they failed to capitalize on Norwich's slip-ups. Hull faced Plymouth away and fell short with a 0-1 defeat. As a result, they finished three points adrift of the sixth position. It’s worth noting that Hull City had a rather underwhelming home record, earning only 33 points in 23 matches. However, the preseason preparation for the new campaign appears to have been disappointing. Despite this, the true picture will be revealed in official matches. In six preseason friendlies, the "Tigers" failed to secure a single victory, suffering losses against Newcastle (0-2), Fenerbahçe (1-5), Doncaster (0-4), and Reading (0-2).
Bristol City
The "Robins," unlike their opponents, were unable to mount a serious playoff challenge last season, finishing 11th in the Championship table. Bristol City secured 17 wins out of 46 matches, with 18 defeats, leaving them 11 points shy of the sixth spot. However, they ended last season on a strong note, suffering just one defeat in their final five matches, with two victories during that stretch. Bristol City also had an impressive preseason, going unbeaten in five matches and recording wins against Newport (2-0), Aldershot Town (2-0), Cheltenham (3-0), and Exeter City (2-1).
