Blackburn v Hull

Heroic win by Hull City last round as they beat Fulham in the opening day. It's been a good game from both sides, though to be mentioned both have shown weakness at the back, several naive mistakes have costed both of them. The Tigers looked good but don't forget there's lack of experience at this level and it's hard to estimate how well they can deal on the road, or against better-rated sides. The Rovers have put on a great perfomance last round and confirmed my theory from the last season when I had claimed they play better away from home. That doesn't mean they can't beat Hull, of course they can, it's just the -1 handicap is not something to attract me. Hull can't defend, that was quite clear, but they're not a side who can't score goals (the Brasilian Geovanni having a huge impact into the last round's game), so I do see a chance for them to score against Blackburn, and I see Blackburn scoring either as it's hard to believe a team who scores 3 against Everton won't score at least twice against Hull, who like I said have shown weakness at the back against usually poor up front Cottagers.
