Hull City lock horns with Watford at the MKM Stadium in round 44 of the EFL Championship on Saturday (April 22). The Hornets are without a win in eight away games across competitions and will look to end this dry spell.
The hosts' woeful form on the road continued, as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium in midweek. The Tigers have now gone nine away games without a win, losing four, since kicking off the year with a 4-1 win at Wigan Athletic. With 53 points, Hull are 16th in the Championship, level on points with Birmingham City and Bristol City.
Meanwhile, Watford were sent crashing back to earth last time out, as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Cardiff City at home. That followed a 2-0 win over Bristol City on April 15, which snapped their run of four-game winless run.
With 59 points from 42 games, Chris Wilder’s side are 12th in the standings, level on points with 13th-placed Swansea City and five points off the playoff places.
