Hull City take on Swansea City at the MKM Stadium in round 45 of the EFL Championship on Saturday (April 29). The Swans head into the weekend looking to make it five wins on the trot and strengthen their late push for a playoff spot.
Hull returned to winning ways on Saturday, edging out Watford 1-0 courtesy of Ozan Tufan’s first-half penalty. Before that, the Tigers saw their five-match unbeaten run snapped on April 19 with a 3-1 defeat against Middlesbrough. Hull have picked up 56 points from 44 games and are 15th in the Championship, level on points with 14th-placed Bristol City.
Meanwhile, Swansea kept their slim chances of a playoff spot alive with a 3-0 win over Norwich City 3-0 at Carrow Road. Russell Martin’s side have won their last four games, scoring ten goals and keeping two clean sheets since a goalless draw against Coventry City on April 7.
With 62 points from 44 games, the Swans are 12th in the league table, level on points with 11th-placed Norwich and three points off the playoffs places.
