Hull City has had a challenging start to the 2024-25 Championship season, currently ranking at the bottom of the table with only 16 points from 21 matches - including three wins, seven draws, and 11 defeats. This is a significant contrast to their performance last year, where they finished in seventh place, narrowly missing out on a playoff spot by just three points behind Norwich City. The team started with three draws, then two consecutive losses before finally winning against Stoke City. Hull City was unable to maintain the momentum and went on a 13-match winless streak, and Tim Walter was sacked after 17 league games. Ruben Selles has taken over as manager but has only managed two losses and a draw in three games. Hull City are looking to win for the first time under Selles, and for the first time since early October, as they head into Saturday's encounter with Swansea City.
Swansea City Form
Swansea has had a poor start to the season, winning seven, drawing six, and losing eight in their first 21 matches, leaving them in 10th place in the table with 27 points. They are, however only seven points away from the top six teams. Swansea's loss to Sunderland, when they allowed a two-goal lead to slip away, has galvanized them to win against Hull City in their next match. With a win in two of their last four matches, and drawing the other two, Swansea City, with Luke Williams at the helm, is confident that they are going to end up winning this game, which would help them earn a spot in the top six.

Hull City vs Swansea City Expert Prediction
The hosts, Selles, will be without several of their important players in the likes of Andrew Smith, Mohamed Belloumi, Carl Rushworth, Dogukan Sinik, Harvey Cartwright, Liam Millar, and Thimothee Lo-Tutala, who are still under injury clouds. With just 19 goals scored so far this season, Selles may need to rethink their attacking setup to achieve a better result, with Joao Pedro likely to feature after scoring in the last game. Andrew Fisher, Josh Ginnelly, Oliver Cooper, and Sam Parker are all expected to be unavailable until the new year for Swansea. In league play this season, Swansea is led by Liam Cullen, who is in form and likely to start for Swansea in this match. Swansea is a favorite to beat Hull City, who has not won in 13 games.
