Hull City vs Birmingham City FC
HULL, England (Interstat) — Hull City will look to complete a season double over Birmingham City FC when the sides meet in a Championship fixture at the MKM Stadium on Saturday.
The hosts earned a dramatic 3-2 victory in the reverse fixture at St. Andrew’s on Oct. 18, 2025, a result they will aim to replicate to solidify their standing in the league table.
Both teams enter the match seeking consistency after recent setbacks. Hull City (14-11-12) is coming off a 2-1 road loss to Sheffield United on April 11. Prior to that, they played to a scoreless draw with Coventry City on April 6. Their form at home has been mixed, with a 3-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday on March 21 followed by a 3-0 loss to West Brom on March 14.
Birmingham City FC (12-9-16) snapped a four-match losing streak across all competitions with a 2-0 home win over Wrexham on April 12. That victory, however, followed a difficult run that included losses to Ipswich Town, Blackburn Rovers and Derby County in which they were outscored 4-1.
The statistical service Interstat projects a 1-1 draw for Saturday’s contest.
Hull City manager Liam Rosenior faces a selection dilemma in attack, while Birmingham boss Tony Mowbray will hope the confidence from the Wrexham result translates into a stronger away performance. Birmingham has struggled on the road, losing four of its last five league matches away from home.
Following this match, Hull City faces a quick turnaround with a trip to Leicester City on Tuesday. Birmingham City’s next assignment is a home match against Preston North End next Wednesday.
Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT).
