With a lot on the line in their final home game of the regular Championship season, Hull City takes on Ipswich Town on Saturday. Former chairman turned broadcaster Simon Jordan thinks an away victory would be a major declaration of intent against a team vying for a spot in the top six.

Since Coventry City’s FA Cup run ended on April 13, the Tractor Boys have not played. However, they still have games in hand on the top two, one of which is this Saturday night at the MKM Stadium in front of the television cameras. The Tractor Boys will have to watch as Leicester City and Lees United battle it out around them in the games that have come since dropping to third.

Leeds, who had lost their previous three games, won 4-3 at Riverside Stadium on Monday night to get back to winning ways. Leicester, on the other hand, defeated Southampton 1-0 on Tuesday night, and City, on the other hand, survived a thrilling 3-2 victory at Coventry on Wednesday night to maintain their own play-off hopes.

Jordan stated on talkSPORT, “I think that will be a statement of intent if they beat Hull away.” “If Ipswich puts that flag down and they defeat Hull, who are vying for play-off spots, they also put themselves in a strong position. Given their recent struggles, I believe Leeds’ victory over Middlesbrough is a really good result.

“They went there, scored four goals against a very tough Middlesbrough team that isn’t playing for much, but in the end of the season, they are playing in front of their home supporters. It really is up for grabs, in my opinion. What more could you ask for from one of the top football leagues in the world to have this kind of risk, in my opinion? It’s fascinating.”
