Middlesbrough vs Hull City Preview

Middlesbrough ended their three-game winless run in emphatic fashion, thrashing Norwich City 5-1 on Friday night. Aaron Ramsey, Hayden Hackney, Chuba Akpom, and a Cameron Archer brace secured a much-needed maximum for Boro. Manager Michael Carrick will be pleased with the manner of the victory and will hope to use it to spur his side on in their final four games of the season.

Despite Boro’s recent run of one win in four, they still have a chance of finishing in the top two, with the likes of Akpom and Marcus Forss in red-hot form. Carrick’s men will be fancied to win the playoffs if they qualify.

Hull City, on the other hand, are looking to secure a top-half finish in the Championship for the first time since their playoff-winning campaign in 2015-16. The Tigers have stabilized under Liam Rosenior’s stewardship, and are unbeaten in their last five games. They secured a creditable goalless draw away to Blackburn Rovers last time out, with goalkeeper Karl Darlow keeping his third clean sheet in the last four games.

Middlesbrough vs Hull City Prediction

Middlesbrough will be buoyed by their impressive victory over Norwich City and will be looking to continue their push for promotion. Boro have been in good form at home, losing just one of their last nine matches at the Riverside.

Hull have been solid in recent weeks, but their away form has been a concern. The Tigers are without a win in their last eight away games and have won just one of their last seven matches. They could struggle against a Boro side who have been in free-scoring form. We predict that it will be Middlesbrough 2-0 Hull City.
