Match forecast
Newcastle United are the current leaders of the Championship with 40 points, out of 18 games. They have registered 13 wins, one draw and four defeats in their last 18 games in the Championship. The Magpies now face a Hull City side that was promoted from the Championship to the Premier League over the summer.
But after a promising start that saw them take charge of the Premier League albeit temporarily, the Tigers now sit in the relegation zone (18th place) with only 11 points after 13 games. These two teams have faced each other eight times since the 2008/09 Premier League season, with Newcastle securing only two wins, three draws and three defeats.
This could be a difficult outing for the Championship side now that they will be playing away from home and against a side that has faced tougher opponents in the Premier League. A win for the hosts could be the most probable result here.
