Valerien Ismael and Blackburn face a Championship relegation battle after seven games without a victory.
  • Only Middlesbrough have a better away league record than Hull this season

  • Hull have won on both of their last two visits to Ewood Park

  • Recommended bet: Hull to win

Hull will attempt to keep their chase of automatic promotion alive and continue their recent unbeaten away run at a happy hunting ground for them.

The Tigers sit comfortably in the Championship play-off places and five points off the top two before their trip to Blackburn, where they have won 1-0 and 2-1 on their last two visits.

Sergej Jakirovic's side have a hugely impressive away record this season and are unbeaten in their last six games on the road. Five of those have been wins, including three in a row.

The last of them came when thrashing Preston 3-0, while Southampton, Middlesbrough and Millwall have come unstuck against them recently too.

Rovers have fallen into the relegation zone following a seven-match winless run in the league.

Team news

Blackburn remain beset by injury problems, with key striker Andri Gudjohnsen (hamstring) sidelined since early December and not due to return until next month.

Other notable players Scott Wharton (Achilles), Ryan Hedges (broken leg) and goalkeeper Aynsley Pears (wrist) are all set to miss the fixture too.

However, they had a boost when midfielder Adam Forshaw returned against Watford and could keep his place in the starting line-up.

As for Hull, there is a slight worry about Matt Crooks, who dropped to the bench for their 2-1 win against Swansea and who is having a hamstring niggle assessed.

Darko Gyabi (groin), Ryan Giles (hamstring), Mohamed Belloumi (hamstring), Eliot Matazo (cruciate ligament) and Semi Ajayi (hamstring) are likely to remain on the treatment table.

New signing Kieran Dowell made his debut in the victory over the Swans and could be set to be given more minutes.

Key stats

Blackburn are winless in eight matches in all competitions and only Sheff Wed have a worse home record than Rovers in the Championship.

Hull are joint-top for winning the most away games in the division and Tigers striker Oli McBurnie is the division's second-highest scorer with 11 goals.

Prediction

Given Blackburn's miserable home record, it is hard to see anything but a win for their red-hot visitors.

The last four meetings between these have gone to the away side, including when Blackburn triumphed 1-0 in the reverse fixture this season, but the hosts are in freefall.

Only Ipswich and Coventry have scored more goals than Hull's 47 this season and the Tigers boast an impressive strike partnership of McBurnie and Joe Gelhardt.

With their impressive away form, backing City to make it four wins in a row on the road looks the standout angle.
