**Hull City rolling early in preseason and Rizespor looking to keep pace** — both sides are buzzing in friendly mode with strong recent results, but the Tigers have that extra gear right now. 🔥
Hull just demolished Konyaspor 3-0 away and haven't dropped a game all summer. Rizespor won their last two but face a side that's clicking on all cylinders heading into the real season.
Key storylines:
- **Hull's attack** led by **D. Babajide** and **L. Koumas** is sharp after three straight wins; Rizespor's backline missing key bodies in **A. Zeqiri** and **H. Aliqulov**
- **O. McBurnie** up top for the Tigers will test **Y. Fofana** and a Rizespor defense still gelling
- **V. Mihăilă** and **A. Mebude** could spark Rizespor's counter if Hull overcommits early
Expected lineups:
- **Hull City**: D. Phillips, L. Coyle, J. Egan, C. Hughes, S. Ajayi, L. Millar, M. Crooks, O. McBurnie, M. Belloumi, L. Koumas, D. Babajide
- **Çaykur Rizespor**: Y. Fofana, M. Pala, A. Mocsi, M. Sagnan, T. T. Sanuç, Q. Laci, I. Olawoyin, V. Mihăilă, T. Antalyalı, A. Mebude, A. Sowe
Prediction:
**Hull City 2–0 Çaykur Rizespor**. Hull's momentum and fluidity edge out a Rizespor side still missing firepower up top.
