"Starting with the hosts, while Hull might have been left frustrated earlier in the week as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss away at Derby, the Tigers have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across the Championship this season. Despite only just dragging themselves over the finishing line last year as they clung to their second-tier status, Sergej Jakirovic's men have made plenty of improvements this time around."
"Suffering just a single defeat from any of their previous seven consecutive Championship appearances, the former Dinamo Zagreb boss has seen his squad gain a reputation for their extended success on home soil. Marking their return from October's international break with a stellar 2-1 win against Leicester, Hull have registered seven points from their last three Championship contests in front of their own supporters."
Hull City sit one point outside the Championship play-off places after a 2-1 defeat at Derby but have impressed this season under Sergej Jakirovic. Hull have lost only one of their previous seven Championship matches, display strong home form at the MKM Stadium, and earned seven points from their last three home league games including a 2-1 win over Leicester after the international break. Portsmouth began the campaign with promise but have collected one point from their last four league matches, suffered a 4-0 defeat at Birmingham, and have only one win in ten outings.
