Hull City play host to Derby County at The KC Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 21 previous games, with the Tigers winning just 9.
The last time the two teams met at Hull City was well over fifteen years ago, back in March 1987, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Second Division match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Hull City at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Tigers will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
