Match Stats

Hull City :

Hull City begin their Championship campaign with a new manager at the helm, as Tim Walter takes charge following the departure of Liam Rosenior. Despite a solid seventh-place finish last season, Rosenior's dismissal was met with surprise, and he has since moved on to manage Strasbourg. Walter, who previously managed Hamburger SV, will aim to win over the Hull fans, though his appointment has raised some eyebrows. Hull's pre-season results were mixed, with the team failing to win a single match but managing draws against Kasimpasa and Fiorentina. With key players like Jacob Greaves and Jadon Philogene departing, Hull might initially focus on consolidating their position rather than chasing early victories.


Bristol City :

Bristol City enter the new season with momentum from a successful pre-season, where they secured four victories, albeit against lower-league opposition. The team concluded their preparations with a goalless draw against Dutch side Willem II. Manager Liam Manning will be hoping to build on last season's 11th-place finish and potentially push for a playoff spot. The Robins have strengthened their attack during the summer, possibly anticipating the departure of Tommy Conway before the transfer window closes. How Bristol City start the season could determine whether further reinforcements are needed in other areas of the squad.


Prediction:  2-1
