Blackburn to win

Hull City are on the hunt for a new manager and there is an outside chance they will have a boss in place by the time they entertain Blackburn on Saturday, but getting a result against in-form Rovers looks a big ask for the struggling hosts regardless.

The Tigers have picked up just one win in nine attempts at home this season and they come into this fixture seeking to halt a five-match losing run.

Blackburn stunned automatic promotion hopefuls Leeds in the last batch of games to record their third consecutive win, putting Rovers within touching distance of the play-off spots.  

Team news

Hull have a few injury issues to contend with and Cody Drameh could join the likes of Liam Millar and Mohamed Belloumi on the sidelines for this game after being forced off early in the second half against Middlesbrough last time out.

Scott Wharton and Zak Gilsenan are long-term injury victims for Blackburn boss John Eustace.

Andreas Weimann could miss out again and Todd Cantwell, who scored in the win over Leeds, is also considered a doubt.

The stats

Five of Blackburn's eight Championship wins have been to nil.

Hull are winless in their last 10 games (D3, L7).

The Tigers have managed just three wins in 18 attempts in the Championship.

Blackburn failed to win their first six away games in the league but have won their last two.

Prediction

Hull City made the decision to end Tim Walter's tenure as manager at the end of November and place Andy Dawson in temporary charge.

Dawson was in the hot seat for the defeat at Middlesbrough last time out but his spell as interim manager is likely to be short, with the Tigers apparently confident they will have a new permanent boss soon.

Whoever is in charge this weekend, the struggling hosts will find it hard to get any kind of result against an in-form Blackburn side who have hopes of breaking into the play-off places.

Rovers sent out another message last weekend by beating Leeds, backing up a similarly impressive victory at Middlesbrough.

The Lancashire outfit initially struggled on their travels as they picked up just three points from their opening six trips, but they head to Hull after wins at Cardiff and Boro and they can continue their fine form with three points on Saturday irrespective of who is in the opposing dugout.
