With Derby County and Portsmouth remaining as Hull City’s final two fixtures, the Tigers will likely only need to secure victories in both matches to guarantee their place in the Championship next season. While this sounds straightforward, it’s not without its challenges, and many Hull fans are understandably anxious about waiting until the final weeks of the season to confirm their survival.
In the upcoming Easter weekend, Hull faces a trip to Swansea, a mid-table team with slim hopes of reaching the top six. Following that, they will host Preston North End, who have struggled away from home this season, winning only three times on the road.
Despite their recent struggles, many believe Hull City has the quality to avoid relegation. Under Ruben Selles, the Tigers have consistently managed to gather just enough points to stay ahead of those around them. However, their recent form, with only one win in their last five matches, has raised some concerns among supporters at the MKM Stadium.
That said, Hull’s solid defensive record—rarely conceding more than one goal per game—along with their superior goal difference, gives them an edge over the teams in the relegation zone. This defensive resilience should help them stay competitive, allowing them to pick up crucial points between now and May 3rd.
