Blackpool will look to continue their strong run of form

Hull City host Blackpool at the MKM Stadium in the EFL Championship on Tuesday, with both sides having made underwhelming starts to their campaigns so far.

Hull City are currently 23rd in the league and have only won one game so far this campaign. Grant McCann's side will be going into the game off the back of three consecutive losses and will be looking to turn things around with a win against Blackpool on Tuesday.

After a poor start to the season, Blackpool's form has started to pick up of late and they will be going into the game on a two-match winning streak.

Neil Critchley's side are currently 14th in the league and will know that this is a great opportunity for them to climb up the table.

Blackpool will look to take advantage of a poor Hull City side on Tuesday.
