Hull take on the visitors Bristol City in the round 4 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, August 25th at MKM Stadium (Hull).
Hull didn't achieve all they could have. The Tigers are still remembered by many football fans for their attempts to establish themselves in the Premier League. But quite recently, they had to drop down to the third level of British football, League One. And upon their return, they had to fight to stay in the Championship. They seemed to have improved after involuntarily placing their bets on Rosenior, first as an interim manager and then making him a full-fledged manager. Not surprisingly, they managed to climb to the 15th place. However, that was in the previous season, and this one started with defeats to Norwich in the Championship and even to Doncaster in the League Cup. They finally secured a 4-2 victory against Sheffield Wednesday. Then they also dealt with Blackburn, managing to beat Rovers 2-1 away.

Bristol City are not considered the favorite of the tournament. Robins dropped to League One about 10 years ago. They didn't stay there for long, but upon returning to the Championship, they have consistently displayed mediocre results. Even with an experienced coach like Nigel Pearson, they have been occupying rather average positions. For instance, the previous season resulted in a 14th-place finish. Against this background, they have started the new season quite well. They demolished Oxford 5-1 in the League Cup and, in the Championship, after a 1-1 draw with Preston, they defeated Millwall away. Then, again on the road, they confidently secured a 2-0 victory against Birmingham in a match against the club of the same name.
Last season, the sides won against each other on their home turf with a one-goal advantage. The hosts are quite logically seen as the favorites in this pairing. However, the guests will surely put up a fight - let's go with the option both teams to score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes.
