In this clash against Hull City, coach Chris Coleman must maintain in 3-4-3 with great offensive propensity in order to recover the points lost in the last games. Note that forward Lewis Grabban is the great highlight of the team with 12 goals scored. It is also important to emphasize that the locals have several failures in the defensive stops, aerial game and the transition-defensive. For this game the coach can not count on Ndong, punished, besides Watmore, Williams and Gibson, all injured.

Like their opponents, visitors go through a difficult period of the season: they occupy a position very close to the relegation zone. In this away game, commander Nigel Adkins must play in 4-2-3-1 to benefit the defensive organization and the counterattacks. At times of the match the team must play straight to Dicko. The big highlight of this lineup is right-back Jarrod Bowen with 11 goals in the championship. It seems that the foreign commander can not count on Grosicki, Weir and Odubajo, all injured.
