Hull vs Man Utd Match preview

England - Premier League: Hull vs Man Utd

This is going to be extremely important match for Hull, who need to win this game in order to avoid the drop, although the Tigers could stay in the league even if they lose this match. Manchester United have defended Premiership title and they will not be very interested in this match, especially as Champions Cup final will be played just three days later.

Do or die game for Hull

When looking at the fixture list before the start of the season, Phil Brown probably didn’t like the fact that his team would be playing Manchester United in the last round of the Premier League but he must be very happy man now that United have already won the title and will have no motives in the final game. Hull should never have been in this situation in the first place as they had had a remarkable start of the season but the dreadful run of results in the second part of the league campaign saw them slip to the dangerous zone. The Tigers are one point clear of Newcastle, the first team in the relegation zone but Phil Brown’s team have got an inferior goal difference and they will be the ones going to the Championship if the teams finish the season tied on points. In order to avoid all the calculations, the Tigers have got to try and win this match and their job will be made easier by the fact that Alex Ferguson will field a second string side. Phil Brown has also received a welcoming boost as both Kamil Zayatte and Bernard Mendy should be fit to play and the hosts will definitely have something to hope for in this match. Apart from long-term casualties, Ashbee, Bullard and Gardner, the boss has no fresh injury worries and he will be able to field a very strong team. The hosts will definitely adopt attacking approach as they need all the points in order to avoid the drop, but they will also leave a lot of space behind.

The champions are preparing for Barcelona game

Manchester United managed to secure the third successive Premiership title last weekend and they will now have absolutely no motives in the final game against Hull. One point against Arsenal was enough for Sir Alex Ferguson’s team to defend the league title and the Red Devils have now set the sights on the Champions League finals against Barcelona. The match in Rome will be played just three days after the Hull game and no wonder that Ferguson will field a second string side at KC Stadium. The boss will rest all the first team regulars as he wants to have them fresh for the big match against the Catalans, but he will, nevertheless, be able to field a very strong side. Rio Ferdinand is likely to be given the chance to prove his fitness before the match in Rome and he will probably start this match as Ferguson doesn’t want the Barca game to be his first after the three-week spell on the sidelines. Foster, Hargreaves and Brown are definitely out, while Macheda, Welbeck, Possebon and Fabio twins will probably all start the match. Even though Ferguson will field a second string line-up, he will be looking to win this match and we expect the visitors to adopt attacking approach.

Betting verdict

Hull will attack from the very start as they need a win in order to avoid the drop, whereas United will also adopt attacking approach and the youngsters will be eager to impress Ferguson. We expect a very open match and over 2.5 goals looks like a banker.
