On Wednesday evening, Hull City will host Middlesbrough on their home turf. A victory in this match might be crucial in their battle to qualify for the playoffs. The hosts currently occupy the tenth spot and have played one match fewer, while the visitors are a notch higher thanks to a better goal difference.
Liam Rosenior's team has lost momentum, having amassed only four points from their last six fixtures, thereby substantially diminishing their playoff chances. Ryan Giles remains injured and can't assist the team.
Manager Michael Carrick might be less than ecstatic with the team's form at the season's outset. However, they're finishing with arguably some of the league's best results. They’ve won five of their last seven matches, drawing two. This comes amidst an injury crisis that has rattled 'Boro'.
This match is highly significant in the final placement of teams in the Championship. The hosts' form presents some concerns. On the other hand, the visitors are looking quite confident. Since the match for Middlesbrough is away from home, ITO 2 (1,5) seems a more appealing option than a victory for them.
