In a weekend match in week 18, on Sat Oct 29th, Blackburn Rovers will travel to Hull to battle Hull City in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Championship teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 16th placed Hull City is fresh off their 4-2 win against Rotherham United. Jacob Greaves scored the first goal for Hull City in the 44th minute, then Daniel Barlaser got the equalizer for Rotherham United in the 2nd minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Shane Ferguson , but luckily for Hull City it didn’t end there. They were able to keep scoring to earn themselves the victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Blackburn Rovers recorded a 2-1 win against Birmingham City. Sam Gallagher scored the first goal for Blackburn Rovers in the 17th minute, then Wharton added another in the 42nd minute. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Blackburn Rovers should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
For Blackburn Rovers, their top scorers are Ben Brereton and Sam Gallagher, each having 2 goals in their last five matches. Hull City’s top weapon lately has been Ryan Longman, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches.
