The action continues in round 15 of the EFL Championship as Hull City play host to West Bromwich Albion at the MKM Stadium on Sunday. The Tigers will be looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win both home and away meetings between the teams last season.
Hull City continued to struggle for results in the bottom half of the Championship table as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium last Tuesday.
The Tigers have now failed to win six league games on the spin, losing three and claiming three draws while conceding nine goals and scoring three since a 3-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers on October 1.
Hull City have picked up 15 points from their 14 Championship matches so far to sit 18th in the table but could move level on points with 12th-placed Norwich City with a win on Sunday.
West Bromwich Albion, on the other hand, were involved in another share of the spoils last weekend when they were held to a goalless draw with Burnley at the Hawthorns.
The Baggies have played six back-to-back stalemates since losing consecutive games against Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough six weeks ago. West Brom have picked up 22 points from 14 Championship games to sit fifth in the standings, level on points with Millwall and Watford.

Hull City vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction
While West Brom are without a win in six straight games, they will be backing themselves to find their feet against a Hull City side who have won just one of their last nine clashes.
However, home advantage gives the Tigers an extra edge and we predict they will hold the visitors to another draw this weekend.
Prediction: Hull City 1-1 West Bromwich Albion
