After the first two games of the season, Hull City’s proposed playoff expectations may have to be curtailed early this season. Hull City’s squad relied on the loan exploits of Fabio Carvalho, Liam Delap and Jaden Philogene-Bidace's performances, who subsequently joined Aston Villa. Philogene-Bidace’s contribution to the Tigers last season will surely be missed after the winger provided 18 goal contributions from 32 league starts.

Hull City have begun their campaign with no defeats or victories. The Tigers have two draws to their name, with each game ending 1-1. In their previous match against Plymouth Argyle, Lewis Coyle rescued a point against Plymouth Argyle after Ibrahim Cissoko had given the Pilgrims the lead in the game.
Millwall ended the season comfortably with a mid-table finish this season. The Lions recorded a 13th-placed finish last season, having won 16 games last season, and have looked to add firepower with the signing of Macauley Langstaff from Notts County.

Millwall began their season with a brilliant encounter with local rivals Watford, which ended in disappointment for Neil Harris and his East London side. Millwall were two goals down to Watford with goals from Edo Kayembe, and Giorgi Chakvetadze. Duncan Watmore scored a late second-half brace to rescue a point for Millwall. However, a late injury-time goal from Mileta Rajovic ended Millwall’s fightback.

The away side was then involved in another brilliant game, although once again, they fell short against Bristol City. Bristol City raced into a two-goal lead at Ashton Gate thanks to goals from Anis Mehmeti and Sinclair Armstrong. Millwall restored a brilliant comeback thanks to Romain Esse's and Tom Bradshaw's goals. Duncan Watmore gave Millwall the lead, however, goals from Fally Mayulu and new summer signing Scott Twine secured the first win of the season for Bristol City.

Hull City are struggling with their recent form as mentioned at the top of the piece. The Tigers have gone ten games without a win, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 fixtures. The Tigers have the advantage in this fixture when played at the MKM in recent games, having not lost in their previous three home games against Millwall. Although, saying this, Hull City have been the first to concede in their last ten.

Last season Hull City finished outside the playoffs as their late push fell at the last hurdle. The biggest obstacle Hull City has to overcome if they are to mount any challenge this season is, surprisingly, the home form. Last season, Hull City were ranked 13th in the league for home form, while the away form was ranked fifth best. Hull City only won eight from 23 last season at home, with nine draws and six losses.

Millwall ended the season comfortably with a mid-table finish this season. The Lions recorded a 13th-placed finish last season, having won 16 games last season. Millwall’s away form reflected their overall position last season, having ranked 13th in away form from 23 games played. The Lions won seven, drew six and lost ten.

Millwall has a slightly better form heading into this game, although it's hardly surprising with Hull City’s recent record in games. The Lions have won four of their last ten games whilst losing five and drawing once.
