Hull and Norwich to play out a cracking Championship clash
Hull City has drawn their last two home matches, including the last one against Birmingham City (1-1), while Norwich City has won their last two away games.
The Tigers will have to improve on their recent record in this fixture to get the three points this Saturday, as they have failed to win either of their previous two head-to-heads against Norwich (D1, L1).
The most recent clash came in the Championship 2025-2026 five months ago when the Tigers claimed a 2-0 away win.
On the other hand, the Canaries will head into this weekend’s clash with 321/100 in their favour after losing just once in their last five (W3, D1, L1).
Hull sits 7th in the Championship table with 70 points after 45 games, five points above 9th-placed Norwich (65 points from 45 games). Both sides will need the points this weekend if they are to finish the season on their own terms, and both will be looking to attack the game.
Free-flowing affair expected at the MKM
Sergej Jakirovic has always been a very tactical manager, with Hull looking to control games with pragmatic, aggressive pressing and high-energy transitions, but their recent results have not matched the ferocity of their play from the early stages of the season.
Philippe Clement’s Norwich, on the other hand, have been far more structured since his appointment in November 2025. The Canaries have been more measured on the ball, retaining their shape and pressing intelligently. This clash of tactical styles should make for a fascinating fixture, with Hull attempting to force transitions and Norwich looking to play at their tempo and create overloads.
Both sides need the win, but Norwich will rightly be favoured here due to their superior form and strong away record. They could be up against it, however, as Hull are always a threat with ball and without.
Back the Canaries to take the points
Oli McBurnie (15 goals in 36 Championship appearances) is Hull City’s talisman this season, bagging two goals across his last five. Norwich have a number of players with a keen eye for goal, but Mohamed Toure has been in particularly fine form of late, scoring four of his team’s last nine in the past five games.
Norwich’s best goalscorer in the Championship 2025/2026 season, however, is Jovon Makama (10 goals in 28 appearances). We can’t see either of these sides keeping it tight at the back, as they both have the quality to hurt one another going forward and the tendency to get exposed defensively. Therefore, we’re backing Norwich to edge out their hosts in a high-scoring, end-to-end affair.
