Hull City will welcome Ipswich Town to the MKM Stadium in the EFL Championship on Tuesday. The hosts have a one-point lead over Ipswich and are sixth in the league table with 25 points.
Hull have seen conclusive results in their last four league games, recording two wins. They met Queens Park Rangers (QPR) in their previous outing last week and suffered a 3-2 away loss. Joe Gelhardt and Enis Destan put them ahead twice in that match, but they conceded once in the first half and twice after the break to give away the lead.
The visitors have seen an uptick in form, and are unbeaten in their last five league games. They hosted Wrexham last week and were held to a scoreless draw.

John Lundstram will miss this match, while Oli McBurnie is a major doubt. Liam Millar will also sit this one out, while Matt Crooks will serve a suspension here.
The Tractor Boys failed to score for the first time after four games last week and will look to return to goalscoring ways. They are unbeaten in their last three games in this fixture, keeping two clean sheets.
Wes Burns, Alex Palmer, and Sammie Szmodics remain sidelined with injuries for the visitors. Conor Townsend is a long-term absentee.
Ipswich have won their last two away games, scoring eight goals. With that in mind, and considering their recent record in this fixture, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
