Overview
- Hull City currently sit 21st in the Championship on 48 points with a -10 goal difference, one point behind Luton, Preston, and Derby.
- A victory against Portsmouth on May 3 will secure Hull's survival, relegating one of Luton, Preston, Derby, or Stoke City.
- A loss at Fratton Park will confirm Hull’s relegation to League One, joining already-relegated Cardiff City and likely Plymouth Argyle.
- A draw could suffice for Hull if either Luton or Preston lose, thanks to Hull's superior goal difference over both teams.
- Opta projections give Hull a 51.8% chance of finishing in the relegation zone, with all decisive matches set to kick off simultaneously.
