In the early kickoff tomorrow, Hull City will be looking to improve their prospects of finishing in the top six at the end of current season by winning three points against West Bromwich Albion.
The Tigers have defeated Southampton, Huddersfield Town, and Rotherham United 2-1 in three straight away games to earn nine points from nine.
The fact that the Saints had gone months without losing at home in the league prior to the encounter at St Mary’s only serves to highlight how remarkable this outcome is.
With Norwich City and Coventry City after them, they will need to support it if they are to have the best chance of securing a spot in the top six.
West Brom, who have spent the majority of the season in the top six, is also at risk of losing out on the play-offs, so this game is crucial for them.
The two sides are now separated by just one point heading into their match at the MKM Stadium. Given how much both teams need to win at this stage of the season, this game is expected to be extremely close.

Albion are in the superior league position, but Hull have the momentum after performing so well on the road and now they are back home, the Tigers would be gutted if they aren’t able to capitalise on this home advantage.
Prutton predicts: Hull City v West Brom
Prutton is one of the courageous ones that dared to predict the outcome of this game!
He predicts that the home team will win 2-1 in East Yorkshire, penning for Sky Sports: “Hull is looking great at the moment.
“They proved against Southampton that they are right up there with the best on their day. They have some happy offensive players like Jaden Philogene and Fabio Carvalho. Right now, they should lose in sixth place.
With West Brom a point and a position above them, they might even be gazing a little higher. Carlos Corberan appears to have made good recruitment choices in January, especially with the loan signing of Mikey Johnston from Celtic.
“Things are looking up for the Baggies on and off the pitch, but I think they could be edged out here.”
Hull City and West Brom have received recent boosts
In recent times, the two teams have received different kinds of boosts.
Hull’s three recent away victories should fill them with great pride.
Although victories against Rotherham and Huddersfield were probably expected given their positions at the bottom of the table, the team’s triumph at St. Mary’s was particularly noteworthy and might make all the difference at the end of the term.
Many will be relieved that Albion is expected to be taken over in the meantime.
It appears that Guochuan Lai’s many fans will finally get their wish to sell up. The participants should only benefit from the enhanced environment.
Furthermore, these two sides will undoubtedly gain from the advantages they have gotten, possibly at different times.
