🗞️ Team News: Hull City

Liam Millar (Cruciate ligament injury) and Mohamed Belloumi (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for Hull City manager Rubén Sellés.

In our view, The Tigers should line up in a 4-3-3 system in the match, beginning the first half with Carl Rushworth, Cody Drameh, Finley Burns, Alfie Jones, Sean McLoughlin, Regan Slater, Steven Alzate, Gustavo Puerta, Abu Kamara, João Pedro Galvão and Mason Burstow.

📰 Team News: QPR

There’s a good chance that The R's might make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Paul Nardi, Jimmy Dunne, Ronnie Edwards, Morgan Fox, Kenneth Paal, Jonathan Varane, Sam Field, Paul Smyth, Kieran Morgan, Ilias Chair and Michael Frey.

💭 Prediction

Our thinking is that Queens Park Rangers will likely create enough chances to breach the defence of this Hull City lineup, but that is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re expecting a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Hull City at the end of this one. Let’s just see how this one goes.
