Hull City VS Sunderland – Match Preview & Prediction
The Black Cats have to chance to climb to the top of the table once again, as they travel to down to East Yorkshire to take on the Tigers, followed by, yet another sold out away end.
Sunderland currently sit 2 points behind Burnley at the top of the table with a game in hand, so a win would see them go 1 point clear of The Clarets.
However, with the top of the table being so tight, a loss could see them fall asleep far as 4th, depending on the level of defeat.
The Tigers currently sit in 14th, but they have won 3 of their last 4 games, and a win could see them rise up to 9th.
Sunderland have lost just 2 of their last 12 meetings with Hull City, winning 4 and drawing 6.
The last time the 2 sides met ended in a 0-1 away win for Hull at The Stadium of Light.
In Sunderland’s last game Illan Meslier’s stoppage time howler earned Sunderland a point against Leeds United to keep them at the top of the table.
Last time out for Hull, they were defeated 4-0 away to Norwich City, so they will be determined to bounce back from a humiliating defeat.
Chris Rigg could become just the fifth player to score 5 Championship goals before turning 18.
