Yang Zhen: Is Ferguson away to the Championship?

001 Hull City vs St. Petersburg United

Both teams were league ones last season, but looking further ahead, there are still differences in identities. Hull City was also a member of the Premier League in the 16/17 season, and after relegation, he played three seasons in the Championship and was promoted to League One last season; St. Petersburg United was promoted as a League One runner-up last season, and had been a League One team for the previous 8 seasons. In this match, Hull City faces the second-to-last place in the league at home (the bottom of the actual sense, because Derby County was deducted points to be at the bottom), and the index concession is slightly deeper and does not feel deep. Not to mention, Petersburg United's away record this season is a terrible 6 consecutive defeats! Conceded an average of 3 goals per game!

As a result of this week's Championship double, Hull City are expected to rotate on the offensive line. Smith, who lost to Hartown starters at the weekend, is likely to be rotated, with both centre-forwards Eves and Magnes having a chance to rotate the starters, both of whom have scored one goal each this season and both need to look for scoring opportunities with the help of winger Porter. In the last round of the league, Hull City captain Smallwood ate a yellow card in the first half, and in the second half was verbally warned by the referee, and coach McCawon saw that the situation was not good, and immediately replaced the captain who was in a bad mood. As for whether Smallwood can play tonight, I have not found the exact news for a long time, and I can only remind you that there is a possibility that the back will not play. In addition, Hull City manager McCann played in Petersburg United during his time as a player, and his coaching career after retirement also began with the assistant coach of Petersburg United, and there was a lot of contact between them.

Petersburg United's most goal-scoring striker Clark Harris has been suspended for four games before and tonight will be the last suspension period, so he can't play yet. In addition, the injuries of the Petersburg United are all older ones. At the squad level, the team also has good news, captain center-back Beavers was injured in the third round of the league, and finally returned from injury against Miburg last weekend, and played the whole game. The return of Beavers is a good thing for confidence in the Petersburg United defence.

In terms of index, Hull City is not low in popularity because of the high fixed gear and the total defeat record of the away team. However, judging by Hull City's second-to-last attacking power in the league this year, it is not easy for them to beat the improved quality of the defense.
