Hull City vs Swansea City prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22

Separated by just three points and two places in the EFL Championship table, Hull City and Swansea City square off at the MKM Stadium on Saturday.

The hosts will head into the game seeking to get one over the Swans having failed to win any of the last four meetings between the sides since 2018.

Hull City continued their surge away from the relegation places last Saturday as they claimed a slender 1-0 win over Bournemouth.

This followed a 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, which saw their six-game winless run come to an end.

With 29 points from 27 games, Hull City are currently 19th in the EFL Championship table, nine points above the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, Swansea City were denied their second win on the bounce last time out when they played out a stale draw at QPR.

Prior to that, the Swans ended their five-game winless run, courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Preston North End.

Swansea City, who have two games in hand, are currently 17th in the EFL Championship standings after picking up 32 points from 25 games.

Hull City vs Swansea City Prediction

Both sides head into the game in rejuvenated form and this makes for an exciting and nerve-racking watch. Hull City are unbeaten in all but one of their last five home outings in the league, claiming three wins and one draw. We are tipping them to maintain this fine form and come away with all three points once again.
