Hull City vs Millwall Prediction: Hull just two points off playoffs spot

Hull City will welcome Millwall at The A2B Stadium in Game Week 30 of the English Championship. Hull are just two points off the playoffs spot. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Hull City will make their return to the MKM Stadium this Saturday with the aim of boosting their chances in the Championship playoffs. Since mid-December, they have lost ground in the fight for a top-six spot. In their first 22 matches, they accumulated 36 points with 10 wins and 6 defeats. However, they suffered four losses in their next five league games around the New Year. Their only relief came in a 3-2 win against Blackburn Rovers. Unfortunately, they fell short against Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City at the beginning of 2023. They then faced Sunderland in their latest league match, following their exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Birmingham City. The Tigers managed to bounce back and secure a 1-0 victory, thanks to Fabio Carvalho's goal. They are now well-rested, as they did not participate in the FA Cup fourth round or any midweek Championship fixtures. Hull City currently sit just two points behind the playoff places with a game in hand on Sunderland and Coventry City. Their goal is to secure another win and reposition themselves in the playoff spots before their extra match.

Millwall will be aiming to end their recent winless run when they face off against Millwall at the MKM Stadium. The team had a positive start under new manager Joe Edwards, but struggled to maintain their form and went on a seven-game winless streak. However, they bounced back during the festive period with three consecutive wins. Unfortunately, they haven't been able to add to their wins column in their last three attempts. Despite this, Millwall has managed to create a comfortable eight-point lead over the relegation zone. They understand that their work is not yet complete and will strive to climb higher in the division in the upcoming weeks.

Despite missing some key players, especially in the attacking department, Hull City still maintain a significant amount of talent within their squad. After securing a morale-boosting victory against Sunderland and having had a break from playing during the weekend, we predict that they will enhance their chances of reaching the playoffs by winning their upcoming home match.
