Hull City will host Blackburn Rovers at the MKM Stadium on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have struggled for results in the league of late and now find themselves outside the promotion playoff spots. They were beaten 1-0 by Sunderland in their last game and had good chances to open the scoring before their opponents scored the winner in the final 10 minutes of normal time.
Hull City sit seventh in the league table with 36 points from 24 games and will be looking to get their campaign back on track with a win on Friday.
Blackburn Rovers have endured a highly underwhelming campaign and currently sit in the bottom half of the table with half the campaign now gone. They were beaten 3-0 by Huddersfield Town on Boxing Day and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the match.
The visitors sit 15th in the Championship standings with 31 points picked so far. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and close out the year on a high.
